Battery terminal additional studs

[SpaceCase]

I noticed on my '21 that the battery connections had some additional screw studs for aux wiring. Does anyone know what the thread of these are so I can get some flange nuts to match?

A thread pitch gauge and caliper will tell you and are good additions to your tool box.

Good call, caliper is already enroute. I will look into the thread pitch gauge.

Huh... additional... for Aux wiring... Huh .

Um, yes? I am guessing, as I don't have ESS or an Aux battery, these posts are freed up somehow.

They are something common, can't remember, but I had some laying around that fit.

You can kind of see the one on the neg terminal in this pic. Vertical threaded posts, they're on both terminals:

Get both metric and inch, although so far everything I've found on the Jeep is metric.

That stud on the Neg. is not in use as that JL in pic does not have an Aux battery. On a JL with an Aux battery, the Aux neg goes to that stud.

It is an M8 1.25 pitch . Smaller stud there is M6 1.00 pitch.

You can make up quick disconnects. Take a coupler and drill hole in it's end and then place an aluminum nail in the hole..
