Title: Battery Terminals Nuts & Screws Post by: ajw85 on October 14, 2018, 01:32:09 PM Anyone know off hand the dimensions of the rectangular nuts and screws for the OEM 12B-BS battery?
Mine corroded away and I need to replace them. I don't want this to go off track and become a discussion about battery corrosion. Thank you!

Rectangular nut is 15x9mm with the same material characteristics. Another Ducati battery in my collection has a more conventional grey metal (tin?) for those parts.
