How to Install the R4T Group 31 Battery Terminals

This video shows how to install the R4T Group 31 Battery Terminals.

Disconnect the negative cable before working on the positive or a tool or something can short out if it contacts the positive terminal and metal.

I'd definitely put the acrylic on the positive terminal side the moment all its connections are done, before messing with the negative side.

My only question with this system is how do you jump start if your battery dies somewhere?

[@beardedtacoma]

Just ordered mine. Excited!!

[@vincentxiong2099]

Love that Knipex too by the way! This is def going in the cart!

What are you guys using so the toyota alternator is putting out sufficient voltage to properly recharge AGM batteries?

[@swade417]

On my GX ive been using a Voltage Booster PRO and so far 0 issues, just mentioning as another option.

[@troy3456789]

On a 3rd gen Tacoma, it can only be done with a tune adjustment to electronically tell the alternator to raise the output voltage to 14.6vdc. There is no other way to do it, no addon device that I know of to raise it from 13.8 to 14.6. Even with an aftermarket high output alternator, the computer will tell it to output 13.8vdc. The problem is that every time I talk to a "Tuner" to see if it can be done, they want to sell me a complete tune package that alters everything from throttle response to shift points. I don't want all that. I simply want to raise the output voltage; I'm happy with everything else about my taco. These Tuner guys are like high pressure salesmen.

@@swade417 Yeah that’s what I’ve been looking into. I think if R4T is pushing using these G31 batteries or any AGM they should at least let folks know of the issues involved with going AGM. My $0.02

@@ryanskeete exactly what I was thinking

[@alexs825]

@@ryanskeeteas an electrical engineer understand higher voltage means more stress and a guaranteed shorter lifespan on every component exposed to the higher voltage. I personally wouldn’t touch it unless it was creating huge issues where my truck wouldn’t start

Will this kit work on a 4th gen or a 3rd gen 4runner

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Like the hold down bracket to bad there not made for 4th and 3rd gen 4runners

[@iamglorfindel5633]

Will this new model work for a gx470? I have seen gx’s with the r4t terminals but they appear different from what’s currently on sale

[@rob4f258]

How do I purchase this??

[@adventureswiththeallens6087]

Will this work on my 100 series Land Cruiser? I got the slee battery tray upgrade with group 31. But I seen you only mentioned fj t4r or taco

[@Runnin4Tacos]

It will work with group 31 batteries.

[@adventureswiththeallens6087]

@@Runnin4Tacos Just an update for anyone wanting to know if it works for 100 series. The negative terminal cover sits too high and can’t close the hood. Right now I have just the positive terminal cover, i shaved the spacers about 1/8”. Although, in theory you should be fine with the negative terminals exposed I made a cover for the negative terminals out of a thin sheet of rubber i found just for peace of mind.

what is the thread of all the posts on the r4t battery terminal?

What about us 2014 tundra owners
