P1000 Battery post extension

[golfer1]

Anyone know where I can get the extension that bolt to the battery posts so I can add a separate wire to the pos/neg battery posts.
Thanks for your help.

If you can't find what you want on Amazon, you might make your own from a short length of copper pipe. To anneal (soften) the copper, heat to red with torch, Oxy-acetylene works best but Mapp gas or propane will do for a small part. When red, dunk in water to quench, hammer flat. Note you can try flattening the pipe without annealing, but if it cracks, start over. Cut to size, drill holes as desired.

Try your dealer. Mine gave me a used one for free. Had to get longer bolts.

Just my opinion along with some facts, but copper is a much better conductor than aluminum. To carry max current you would need a 3/4" thick aluminum conductor to do what a 1/4" thick copper conductor can do. Also, copper is less likely to suffer electrolysis and galvanic corrosion.

Okay, so why do they sell aluminum for this? Cheaper.

Good info. How does stainless compare?

Not well! Stainless, like "regular" steel, is some 40 times worse than copper at conducting electricity. From the chart below, copper is, by far, the most practical and lowest resistance conductor, being nearly as good as silver and an easy 37% better than aluminum. With more resistance in a conductor, it will resist and waste electricity turning it into waste heat.

When aluminum is used, it's probably because it costs about half of what copper costs.
