There are adaptors to make a small terminal large. They look like a piece
of rolled lead which is what the are. On my Sprite I specifically chose a
battery with the big terminals only to fit they were small ones with
adaptors so I could have had the battery I really wanted and sourced adaptors.
In the end as part of the ongoing quest to save weight I bought new small
terminal clamps and ditched the adaptors. Try ebay for terminal adaptors or
swap the terminal clamps.

So today I finally decided to stop babying my 7 year old often dead battery
and get it replaced. I pulled it and went to Pepboys. I grabbed a size 51
Bosch battery with a 4 year warranty for 28% off. Great deal...or so I
thought. Got it home and threw it in and only then did I realize the terminals
are half the size of the old ones. I mean instead of 1/2"wide these are
closer to 1/4". Turns out that the new Bosch batteries are using this smaller
size for the 51s ONLY. the other cheaper companies are still using 1/2"
terminals. So what is the likely hood that the terminal shims will work?
Anybody else have this problem or possible solution?
