Any tips on a good product or material to insulate the Slee extended battery terminals? I've got military terminal covers on now, but they leave a lot of the extended terminal exposed. I'd like to find something to cover the extended portion, especially the positive terminal. What have you used or seen used?

Probably not the cleanest solution, but you can easily brush on some Liquid Tape on there.
 
Good idea. I'll keep that in mind as an alternative.

I'd prefer something that could be easily removed for service and modifications, if at all possible.
 
What if you take another one of the big, red terminal covers you're already using, cut it to shape~ish, and zap-strap it overtop?
 
What about using large diameter heat shrink tubing? Slip it past your connections, bolt everything up, then slip it back over and shrink it down. It shrinks down 3:1 so you could probably use some 2" diameter tubing and seal everything off cleanly.
 
This is what I have so far:

Yeah, I'm not crazy about that little exposed part. I have one more pass on wiring to do up there, I'll probably get it covered then by hacking up another of those mil-spec covers since I have a spare.

Has anyone tried the Mercury Quicksilver Terminal Cover used with bus bar kits ?

I put the factory cover back on. I had to trim it a bit to accomodate compressor wires, but works fine.
