Battery Terminal Pullers

Though there are several brands, battery terminal pullers all work on the same principle and basically are similar to "gear" pullers, except smaller.

They have a couple of "fingers," the tips of which grip underneath the bottom edge of the loosened battery terminal to be removed, and they have a threaded rod [acts like a push rod] which contacts the top of the battery terminal.

When the finger "tips" are hooked beneath the terminal clamp, and the pusher/plunger is screwed inward, the fingers are pulled upward, pulling the battery terminal with them.

To prevent damage to the battery terminal, the terminal clamp, and the puller it is critical that the locking screw of the terminal clamp be completely loosened before attempting to pull the clamp.

What is a battery cable puller and where can I get one?

A battery cable puller is a small hand tool specifically designed to pull a stuck battery cable connector from an automotive battery terminal without damage to either the terminal, connector, or your hands. Although there are a few different styles and brands, they generally all work the same. There will be two thin "feet" that slip beneath the cable connector, and a screw device [looks much like that used in a "C"clamp] which when turned pushes down on the top of the battery terminal, thus pulling the terminal clamp upward off of the tapered terminal. Battery cable/terminal clamp pullers can be bought at most auto parts supply stores. Very occasionally, some auto supply stores [those that loan tools] will loan it to you.

How can a capacitor be charged using a battery?

A capacitor can be charged using a battery by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to one terminal of the capacitor and the negative terminal of the battery to the other terminal of the capacitor. This creates a flow of electrons from the battery to the capacitor, storing electrical energy in the capacitor.


How do you attach motor to a battery for newton's disc?

You can attach a motor to a battery by connecting the positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the motor using a wire, and connecting the negative terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the motor. This will allow the motor to receive power from the battery and start spinning when turned on.
