Just picked up a fresh, made in 12/22, 24F Everstart Maxx car battery. I've got a few different sizes types of this brand and they all had narrow battery terminal posts, requiring me to shim both my truck and van to make the clamps hold on.
The new one has meaty, chunky, beefy, thick battery posts. No shimming on this new battery. They just made the best battery for my money, even better.
The old Maxx 24F was 7 years old, and still cranked hard without ever failing, but figured to play it safe and retire it before it becomes an issue.
Did I just get a fluke? Anyone else see the same thing? It's really obvious when your clamps bottom out before they get tight, and need shims, then they don't need shims at all, with a few threads left before bottom-out using a thicker battery post.
It's a Johnson Control battery, btw. I only get the Maxx JC batteries, not the others.
