I suppose I can go combo AND Super Size if you play your cards right.

As for the battery cover... interesting concept, something I've never seen or thought of before but not something I'd put on my car.

I think it would look a little better with round terminal holes. Would look cleaner, IMO.

the terminals are raised.
Stock it has about a 4mm space from the base of the battery to the ending point of where the battery terminal would end when you install it.

you should be able to tell that when you look at the pictures.
SO shocking yourself would be crazy if your just careless.

Sorry to point out the negative (no pun intended), but one reason stock batteries are not metal on top is so that corrosion and moisture/condensation cannot build up and cause a short across the top of your battery. Maybe not a short that you will see right away, but one that will slowly drain your battery. I have even seen this happen on regular batteries that dirt was allowed to build up on. It wouldnt take too much crud to bridge the gap between post and metal cover there. Enough condensation (which the cool metal top would be a perfect hiding place for in the cool damp morning) would easily make your two posts one electrically. Just an observation

I do suggest people getting the cool Green and Red terminal protectors form Kragen or whatever to help stop corrosion.

Corossion is something you just cant get around.

But those terminal protectors are lik $2.99

Fit fine with no problems on our customers TC.
But to each their own.
