Battery terminals? Anyone know where to get these?

[ripley802]

Thats a great find for new terminals, many different choices. Ill be sure to check those out for some future projects!

I buy alot of used trains, most of them have corroded battery terminals. What I do is strip the train down and remove the terminals, and soak them is clr or any strong calcium/lime scale remover. If left in there for about 1 min, they come out looking like brand new with all the corrosion is gone. In most cases it looks like nothing ever happened, sometimes if the corrosion is realm bad it leaves some putting but they still work great!

Thanks. Yeah the site has tons, but getting them is the problem. I think this is a bust for me unless I want to shell out $400 for 10,000 of them.

That said I agree most can be cleaned up and I have had great luck with white distilled vinegar. The problem is the 10-20% that are too far gone. IE... Corroded into multiple pieces..

I just wish there was an easy way to get the brand new ones.
