Protecting your battery connections is just as important as protecting your battery. If damage occurs to the battery connections, it can lead to all sorts of issues. Damage can be either physical impact or corrosion due to exposure. Is there a way to protect your battery connections? Yes, there is, and it's easier than you think. Alternator style battery boots prevent shocks, shorts, and corrosion. This style boot is typically used to cover a ring terminal or lug on an alternator or starter. Alternator type boots offer protection for continuously energized parts. Most commonly this will include the positive battery terminal. Alternator type boots can also be used on both ends of wires connected to continuously energized sources. To use, disconnect the point you would like to cover. Next, slide the alternator type boot over the existing cable and lug. After you reconnect the cable, pull the alternator type boot into place making sure to cover the connection point.
