EDS Battery Terminal Kit — Positive & Negative 926-496/926-497, Tin-Plated Copper Alloy Bolt-On Replacement

EDS 926-496 & 926-497 battery terminal set is a direct-fit positive and negative replacement built from tin-plated copper alloy for reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance.

When battery posts or clamps become corroded, loose, or damaged they can cause hard starts and inconsistent vehicle electrical performance. This two-piece kit supplies both positive and negative connectors engineered to match factory dimensions for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and similar models that use part numbers 926-496 and 926-497. The terminals use a bolt-on stud post arrangement, include the fastening hardware, and are finished with tin plating to improve conductivity and slow oxidation.

How do these terminals restore a weak or intermittent battery connection?

Replacing aged or corroded clamps with fresh metal restores a full-surface contact area and eliminates high-resistance points. The EDS set provides secure clamping and a stud-post interface that ensures repeated stable electrical flow under vibration.

• Full positive and negative pieces replace both worn clamps at once.
• Tightening studs and nuts create a low-resistance, secure joint.
• Tin-plated copper alloy improves conductivity versus corroded steel.
• Precision threads reduce the chance of loosening from engine vibration.

Will these terminals fit my vehicle that uses parts 926-496 and 926-497?

The connectors are engineered to match the factory specifications associated with part numbers 926-496 and 926-497, making them a direct-fit replacement on compatible vehicles. Always compare the shape and mounting dimensions to your existing terminals before installation.

• Designed to the same measurements as OEM 926-496 and 926-497 parts.
• Commonly compatible with many Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep models.
• No cutting, welding, or modification required for direct-fit installs.
• Includes nuts and hardware for immediate bolt-on replacement.

What tools and steps are needed for installation?

Installation is straightforward and suitable for both professional shops and experienced DIYers. Basic hand tools are all that’s required and the kit comes with the necessary nuts to fasten the stud posts.

• Tools needed: wrench or socket set, wire brush, and battery terminal puller if required.
• Steps: disconnect negative battery first, remove old terminals, clean post surfaces, fit new terminals, tighten studs to secure connection.
• Included hardware eliminates the need to source additional fasteners.
• Inspect torque and retighten after initial engine run to confirm stability.

How does the construction improve longevity under engine-bay conditions?

Materials and mechanical design both contribute to longer service life. The tin-plated copper alloy keeps electrical resistance low while resisting environmental corrosion, and the stud-post clamp reduces movement at the contact interface.

• Tin plating limits oxidation for extended, reliable conductivity.
• Copper-alloy core offers better electrical transfer than corroded alternatives.
• Stud-post format resists loosening from heat and vibration.
• Robust mechanical clamp distributes pressure to avoid point contact wear.

Who is this for?

This EDS 926-496 & 926-497 terminal set is ideal for vehicle owners, mechanics, and restoration projects where original-style replacements are required. If your vehicle uses the listed factory part numbers or you need a complete positive and negative battery terminal refresh for better starting and stable electrical performance, this kit provides a durable, easy-to-install solution without custom modifications.
