I just installed my 4th set and have always replaced on time rather than on performance. Finally, remember to always disconnect the battery ground first and reconnect the ground last. This will minimize the opportunity to short (and vaporize) something valuable. I learned this lesson after copper plating my thumb and getting a nasty flash burn. Brent, thanks this is exactly what I was looking for....including the picture. I anticipated I would have to custom make battery terminals. Again thanks for a good plan. I have always been amazed that one can copper plate almost anything with a little current. Craig Berland
