The use of electronics on today's vehicles require that both power and ground connections for add/on (auxiliary) electrical equipment (mobile radios, light bars, etc.) be made at the battery.
Parts are now available to make these connections while maintaining the corrosion resistance and electrical integrity designed into the Delco side terminal battery.
*PART OF TERMINAL ADAPTOR PACKAGE, P/N 1846855:
The Side Terminal Adaptor Package, P/N 1846855, when combined with the longer battery bolt (P/N 12004188) and spacer (P/N 12004189) will provide the corrosion resistant connection.
We recommend all your technicians (customers) involved in add/on (auxiliary) electrical equipment installations follow this simple procedure.
