Posts where cables go. They are also called the electrode or terminal. The positive terminal is referred to as the Cathode and the negative terminal is called the Anode.
Normally the positive terminal will be red and the negative will be black. But if they are not color coded, just follow the cable from the battery posts. The one that connects to the engine block or to the automobile frame or chassis is the negative terminal.
Answer 1 - Leakage at a Battery Terminal PostNO, a leak at a battery terminal post does not usually indicate a broken post. Car battery terminal posts are very tough, and usually do not break, especially before the plastic battery case breaks. Usually, a leak around a car battery terminal post is caused by a failure of the SEAL of the case plastic cast around the terminal post. This can be caused by a manufacturing or material defect, from abuse, or from vibration.
In most batteries, the negative terminal is made out of zinc and the positive terminal is made out of carbon. this may vary depending upon the type of battery and the amount of power it supplies.
Both posts are gray, positive has a red wire running to it, and a plus sign next to it.
A battery terminal or a battery CABLE terminal. If the terminal is gone or destroyed on the battery, you need a new battery. If the cable terminal is terminal, you can buy an after market replacement or a complete new cable with terminal at most any auto parts store.
The negative terminal of a battery has a - sign and positive terminal has a + sign.
It is under the hood on the right (as you face the car with the hood open) near the front. The battery terminal posts are actually pointed towards the interior of the car and not up.
Battery corrosion can be prevented by covering terminals with grease or installing washers under the terminals
The difference between these two battery codes is the arrangement of the terminal posts. When the battery is installed correctly in a vehicle, as you're looking at it from the front of the vehicle, a 27 will have the negative post on the left side and the positive post on the right. A 27F battery has opposite post positions...positive terminal on the left and negative on the right.
On the top of the battery unless it has side connections which are on the side and are not posts but female connections.
