Re: [RE-wrenches] IBE Battery Flags

[Allan Sindelar]

William, We have used numerous sets of IBEs over the years; I have them in my home. Well made. There's no standard. Every aspect of cabling is up to you. We have ordered all flag and one flag/one terminal, and even 4V cases with one welded series terminal for each. You have to specify which way you want them, as all is custom. All cables is a bit of a hassle, as each series connection has to be connected and then insulated well. Drill out the holes to 5/16". 1/4" is too small.
