Frequently asked questions

What is the braided battery earth strap used for?
The braided battery earth strap bonds the battery negative terminal to the chassis or engine block, giving the electrical system a low-resistance ground path. The braided conductor flexes with engine movement without fatiguing. This strap measures 400mm, so check your original lead length before ordering.
How many earth straps does a vehicle need?
Most vehicles use several earth straps, typically one from the battery negative to the chassis and another bonding the engine block to the body. This 400mm braided strap replaces one such lead. Check and measure your existing straps, since a corroded or missing earth path causes poor running and electrical faults.
Can I fit the battery earth strap myself?
Yes, fitting the braided earth strap is a straightforward DIY job. Disconnect the battery first, then bolt each end to clean, bare metal for a solid connection, removing any paint, rust or grease from the contact points. A poor earth causes dim lights, hard starting and erratic gauges, so tighten both ends securely.
