Slee positive battery terminal cover

[kcjaz]

Just installed my Slee battery terminals on my new AGM battery and cleaned up what was a bit if a mess wiring wise. Still room for improvement but much better than it was. I have a group 27 battery and therefore I have the small Slee terminals. Slee offers a positive post cover for the Group 31 size but not the smaller one. While I like the terminals, I do not like having that much bare "bus bar" exposed for me to accidently hit with w screwdriver or wrench or something. Has anyone with these same terminals made something? I was thinking about trying to 3D print something but don't have software, printer or skills for that. I do have a son-in-law that might be able to help mw with that though. Just wondering what other approached people may have taken.

Can you make a something from a sheet of ABS plastic? A heat gun can help shape ABS or similar plastic sheet. You can order plastics from McMaster Carr or a local supply house.

Probably. If nothing else, I’ve thought about somehow attaching a flat ABS cover on top of it.

If you do get something printed make sure they use a filament that can handle the underhood temps. PLA is the very common material due to it's ease of printing, but definitely wouldn't like that environment.

You can also microwave an appropriately sized piece of PVC pipe to make it moldable.

Schedule 40 is thin enough to work easily.

The same material can also be a cheap substitute for Kydex.

I wonder if you could get creative with a big piece of shrink wrap, or electrical tape

I used one of these to cover most of the + bigger Slee terminal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01068FSJI
