One of the terminals that dissolved terribly, did include a lead “cap” or sleeve in direct contact with the battery post. It still dissolved.

A common link between the two failures I’ve experienced, other than alternator breakdown, is that both terminals were pressed metal types. Have a few cars with ancient brass terminal clamps, a bit tarnished but still otherwise good.

The forged brass terminal clamps from Projecta, look like they’ll do nicely. I bought a battery cable lug crimper some years back and it lives in my occasional workshop. Worst case I’ll use that to put ends on a cut length of fresh cable.
