T3 20AH Battery Terminals
T3 20AH Battery Terminals
(OP)
We are using 20AH batteries with T3 terminals and aren't convinced of our current termination method of an o-ring with a bolt through it. We've had a problem of arching and when technicians are inside the cabinets around these batteries having them short on the frames. The only insulation we've been using is electrical tape around the entire connection but it doesn't look very professional.
Are there any proper connections for these T3 terminals, or how are others attaching to these batteries. There isn't much on the internet in terms of examples of uses, yet these are extremely popular batteries.

I'd like to know how others are using these batteries. Another suggestion is to put the 4 required into a standard casing with say an Anderson plug so each battery and wires connecting them aren't exposed.

The OP refers to a "problem of arc[h]ing" which is somehow related to some sort of metal cabinet and the batteries. This does not sound like a circuit opening kind of arc.

RE: T3 20AH Battery Terminals
I guess it's 'just' a case of the metalwork of the enclosure making contact with the battery terminals and the blue flash as the contact breaks.
