Diehard Battery Terminals

[DanP 19]

I tried searching for this but couldn't find anything on it.

 

I have a DieHard G34M and they have 2 terminals on the top

 

 

Is there any difference between these 2 terminals?

Nope.  It's just another connection, studs in this case, for the user to make connections to.  Those studs are generally found on deep cycle marine batteries for connecting to boats for trolling motors and the like.  Really nice for audio IMO.

Thanks I saw some people complaining about the side posts on Yellow Tops and wasn't sure if these had similar problems

Eh, doesn't even have to be Yellow tops, side post batteries have always been a little more prone to problems since the threads are just lead, but they're not a stud like on your battery.  There's a short 3/8" bolt that goes through the terminal on the wire into the the terminal on the battery.  Cross thread it just a hair, over tighten it, use something with crappy threads or try to put too many terminals under the bolt and you can easily ruin the threads inside the terminal.  I've had it happen many times before and have successfully repaired it with a blind hole tap and helicoil on each of those occasions.
