Car Battery Cables and Connectors for Toyota Avalon
If your battery cables and connectors need replacing, you’ll want to do so quickly to get your Avalon back on the road. Youll find a selection of direct-replacement options for these battery accessories and attachments that will help your vehicle run smoother and start faster.
What material are the battery cables made from?Your battery cable needs to be able to withstand very high temperatures when transferring the power from your battery to your vehicles other electrical parts. The synthetic rubber of the cable from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) will resist melting and burning when exposed to the heat of your engine. The rubber jacket on both the positive and negative attachments will also resist damage from oil, liquid, and heat, which reduces the risk of battery corrosion. The synthetic jacket of the cable extends for the length of the connection, ensuring protection throughout the entire part.
Are the battery terminals different than the cables?The battery terminals on your Toyota Avalon attach to the cables and will then attach to your battery. In order to keep the terminals for your battery in good condition, the OEM terminals are often made from lead. This material resists corrosion. If leakage or other issues do start to occur, a simple solution of baking soda and hot water can clean it up relatively quickly. You may also have the option for zinc terminals. These accessories are also resistant to corrosion and provide improved charge and conductivity, potentially improving the performance and durability of your engine components.
What are the specifications for a Toyota Avalon battery cable?Regardless of whether your Avalon has a mount on top of the battery or on the side, the cable will have dimensions of approximately 2.7 by 2.7 by 1.5 inches and a weight of approximately half a pound. Youll want to check your owners manual or look at the battery to determine if it connects to top mount or side mount attachments. It features 6 gauge connection wires, ensuring durability through tough conditions.
Are the negative and positive terminals from the original manufacturer?You can find positive and negative terminal connections from the OEM or from aftermarket performance manufacturers. Both manufacturers design the accessories for your Toyota batteries to fit the same way as the original parts in your vehicle. The difference is that the original manufacturer connector cords and terminals are made from the same material as your original equipment. An aftermarket connection, positive terminal, or negative terminal you find may be made from different materials.
