3/8"-16 Thread Male Lead Side Post Battery Terminal Charging Posts, Standard Side Post 3/8" Battery Post Adapter (+/-) Compatible with GM Post, Pack of 2

The metal here is lead. The supplier prints that word in capitals, once, at the head of its description, and it belongs at the head of ours because the sell copy above this description uses the same word in its other sense entirely, the electrical one, and then treats the part as a take-off. Neither reading is what is meant. Lead is what the adapter has been cut from.

An imperial male thread, and a terminal in the flank

SAE 3/8 inch-16 is the thread quoted, and it is male, so this part brings the stud while the battery end has to bring the threaded hole. Its home is a side-post battery, meaning one whose terminals live in the flank of the case instead of on the lid, and the posts named for it are GM 3/8 inch. What comes out the other end is an ordinary tapered top post, ready for a conventional clamp to close on it.

Handling guidance does not appear on this page

Past naming the metal that once, the description says nothing whatever about handling the part, storing it, cleaning it or disposing of it when it is finished. We are recording what this page leaves out rather than composing a caution the maker never issued. Should you want that guidance, and there is fair reason to want it, the seller is who to ask for whatever text the manufacturer actually published.

Key features

• Thread it supplies: SAE 3/8 inch-16, male, so a matching threaded hole has to be there already.
• Side-post duty: intended for terminals in the flank of the case, with GM 3/8 inch posts named.
• Ends as a top post: turns a side terminal into the tapered shape an everyday clamp is shaped to hold.
• Cones differ by side: the positive piece measures 19 mm, its negative counterpart 17.
• Two pieces: a pair, one of them for each polarity.
• Nothing to modify: direct, with nothing on the vehicle needing to be modified.

Things this listing declines to settle

• Lead is the material, and no handling guidance whatsoever is published to stand beside that fact. There is no washing note, no storage note, no note about keeping it from children, and nothing at all on disposal or recycling. We are naming the gap and leaving it at that, because anything we wrote in there would be ours rather than the manufacturer's.
• The supplier hangs three claims on the adapter as an object, those being increased strength, conduction, and corrosion reduced rather than banished. It attaches none of the three to the metal it names, and we have not shifted them across.
• The sizing sentence reached us with the connector between the two figures missing and both of its spaces still standing. That is a Gap, which is a different fault from a Loss and is not a fusion of the numbers. Both figures survived it, and we have made no attempt to work out what the vanished connector was.
• Amperage is absent, voltage is absent, and no tightening figure is given either, on hardware that sits inside the battery circuit and carries whatever moves through it.
• No instruction to disconnect the battery ahead of the work appears at any point here.
• The sell copy calls this a male lead for GM, then describes the result as a tidy take-off, then talks about extra leads in the plural, which can only mean cables. Those uses pull against each other. What we are describing is the metal.
• Overall height is missing, across-flats size is missing, and so is mass, which makes clearance round a side terminal impossible to plan for in advance.

Confirm your battery is side-post and its hole is 3/8 inch-16 before anything else, then buy this knowing precisely which metal is in your hand.
