Terminal Dimensions
Length, width and height of the terminal body — the numbers you need before you decide whether one fits your engine bay.
Read this before you use the table
These are body dimensions: the size of the terminal itself, measured on the part. They are not "installed height above the battery", because that figure does not exist as a fixed number — how tall the assembly ends up sitting depends on how far your battery's post protrudes, and that varies between batteries even within the same group size.
So the useful check is the one below: measure your own gap, then compare it against the body height plus however much of your post stands proud of the battery case.

| STING Compact Terminal (short) | STING | 3.5 x 1.22 x 1.06 in | — |
Dimensions are for a single terminal. Every set ships as a pair, one positive and one negative. Where a cell reads "not published" the figure is not yet on record for that variant and we would rather leave it blank than copy the number from a similar model.
How to check your own vehicle in four measurements
- Vertical gap. From the top surface of the battery to whatever is directly above it — hood liner, brace, cover. This is the one that decides most cases.
- How far the post stands proud. From the battery top surface to the tip of the post. Add this to the body height in the table to get the real stack height.
- Sideways room. From the centre of each post to the nearest obstruction — tray wall, fuse box, coolant bottle. Compare against roughly half the body length, since the terminal sits over the post.
- Tool room. Could you actually swing a wrench or fit a socket in that space? If a tool will not fit now, it will not fit once a larger terminal is in there. This is a separate failure from "it is too tall", and it is the one people discover last.
If the numbers say it will not fit
That is what STING exists for — a compact body for engine bays where a full-size multi-way terminal has nowhere to go. It takes a different approach to landing cables, so read the honest yes/no filter on that page before assuming it is a drop-in substitute.

Coming: Battery Terminal Fitment & Torque Guide
Post identification chart, the four measurements to take in your own engine bay, torque table, and a print-to-scale paper template you can hold against your battery before you order. Body dimensions are already published in the dimension table.
We are still measuring — every dimension in the guide is taken off the actual product rather than a drawing, and we would rather publish it late than publish a number we have not verified. There is no signup form here yet because we have nothing to send you yet. When the guide is ready this box becomes the place to get it.
