Thank you.
But that does not tell me if they'd work or not. Would short out the battery or starter/charger or not. And I do not have any more spare banana plugs to practice on.

I have browsed the web and have found solderless banana plugs but apparently they do not make solderless banana jacks.

If you could show pics of the inside of your box sticktickler to possibly show me your connections to the battery and banana jacks that would be a great help.

If I can not use the soldered wires I am attempting to do, and can not find BOTH solderless banana plugs AND banana jacks, I am going to have to go the other route and use the alligator clips already attached to the charger and starter and make the terminal with the screw as first suggested. It is not worth the hassle to try to change to banana plugs when the alligator clips will work just as good (and are already attached).

So I believe I will be going to Radio Shack OR Carr Hardware OR order online for the components for the terminal you suggested sticktickler. I think that would be the easiest route for me to take.

The concern I have is this: Because the screw is connected to the battery (here comes the stupid question ) can't I get zapped by touching it or do I need to touch both the negative AND positive to get a zap?
