Deka ETX14

Looking at buying the Deka ETX14 (braille) for my 04 MCS. Am I going to have to purchase special terminals for this?

Thanks!!!

Yea...just screw down brass terminals the size of your current ones. Uses hex head screws to attach....

Sorry for the unsolicited opinion... but if it gets cold in your area and your Mini is a daily driver I'd shy away from that battery. I've got buddies that have the Braille and end up having to leave a trickle charger on the battery at night in the winter. 2 guys actually.

True....since the CCA on the 14 is like 300. BUT if you get the EXT20 its fine. Weighs 3lbs more at 14lbs. All the V-Dub guys run them with no problems in the cold.
