ACDelco Gold 3BA35 (88860321) Battery Cable Terminal

The ACDelco 3BA35 Professional Battery Cable Terminal is a universal connector that allows for easy connection to battery cables. Made out of lead, these terminals can accommodate both "eye" connectors and bare wire in the center. However, there have been mixed reviews regarding the fit and tightness of the terminals. Some customers have experienced difficulties with the fit of the negative connector, as it is smaller compared to the positive connector. This can lead to a loose connection and potential movement, causing connection issues over time. While terminal caps can be purchased to shim the smaller side, it would have been more convenient if the connectors simply fit properly. On the positive side, some customers have had trouble achieving a tight connection. They had to tighten the terminal to a concerning point to ensure proper contact. Despite these fitting issues, many customers have still found the ACDelco 3BA35 Professional Battery Cable Terminal to be a good product. They appreciate the color coding, as it adds a visual element under the hood. The terminals are also able to handle large cables, making them suitable for a range of vehicles. However, it is important to note that there have been a few negative experiences as well. One customer reported that the terminal broke in the middle of a race, indicating possible durability issues. Additionally, some customers mentioned that the terminals do not stay tight enough on the battery terminal, which can lead to disconnection. Overall, the ACDelco 3BA35 Professional Battery Cable Terminal is a universal connector that offers convenience and compatibility with various cables. However, there have been some fitting and tightness issues raised by customers, as well as concerns about durability. It may be worth exploring other options if a secure and tight connection is a priority.
