Battery Post Adapters??

[AdamE]

I bought a new battery for my nephew's Bolens ST110. I didn't realize it, but the tractor's cables have post clamps like a car and the new battery I bought just has the terminals with a bolt hole.

What should one use to adapt to these terminals? I see side terminal adapters, but the threaded part isn't long enough...

Thanks!

Can you just take it back and exchange for battery with post ?
If you can't you can get new cable ends with the GM screw ends at most any parts store, but with those you will need to cut post type ends off, I have an old GM battery here and I see it is only threaded about 1/2 inch.

Thanks Mike.

I bought it at Advance Auto and it looks like all of their Lawn & Garden batteries have the flag terminals whereas the car batteries have the posts. This may be universal, but I don't know...

Thanks all!

I just ordered a pair of these: Flag to Post Terminal Adapter: BatteryMart.com

They look like they should do the trick...

Correct, mower batteries have flat, bolt on posts.
This is because they are different internally to car batteries and thus makes it easy to work out which is what.
