4 way battery terminal better quality

[stirlingwine]

Wanted this for leisure battery and ready to connect heavy cable for new mover. This one from Amazon broke when I installed it, when I gave the cables a tug to see the clamp was tight. PROBLEM - the thin die cast clamp is wrong metal, zero ductility. Can only find identical quality on Amaz. and eBay. Can anyone point to a stronger version, preferably online purchase as I am in Europe.

Why bother? Just use an eye terminal on the mover canle, it's not that thick, it's not like a cars starter motor.

I got these ones, they're brass and they've been fine for the past year.

I looked yours at yours and I can't see any difference in appearance. My description says "high-quality copper-plated aluminium alloy with high stability" which is BS because it is some type of Zn-like diecast and very brittle. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0B9RW574F?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Yours is described as "high quality brass" but it appears Identical to mine.
Probably both incorrectly described by sellers.
I'm reverting to my old connectors.

Thanks. Yes, I gave up on the diecast connectors and went back to my previous connectors which are pressed and unlikey to fracture and fall off, also allow 3 connections which is nuf.

I have a pair of these and they are definitely Brass, Sorry I cannot find the link to where I bought them. I even took a file to them to check the material.

I would have been happy with brass, but think I’ve been dudded by Amazon seller with brass lookalike. Always gotta really check Chinese quality

Contact Seller for a refund if they were fraudulently described?

I sound as if you have been sold cheap junk, which can happen with mail order. The best bet is to use a reputable local dealer, who may cost more, but will sell you something decent.
