Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with the Sealey BT24, ensure the copper wire is stripped to the appropriate length—typically 5-7mm—so that the wire strands sit firmly within the barrel without extending too far past the contact area. Always match the terminal with the correct gauge wire; attempting to use a smaller wire will result in a weak, high-resistance connection, while a larger wire will not fit the barrel. For maintenance, keep the remaining terminals in their original packaging to protect the copper from moisture and oxidation. If the connection point is exposed to the elements, consider applying a thin layer of dielectric grease or using heat shrink tubing over the crimp area to prevent corrosion.
