Screw Terminal vs Stud Terminal LiFePO4 Battery: Which Option is Right for You?

When comparing screw terminals and stud terminals for LiFePO4 batteries, which one is the best choice? Generally, unless there's a specific requirement, we recommend customers go for stud terminal LiFePO4 batteries. Stud terminals make connections easy and are ideal for DIY setups, saving you time.

With more vendors now offering cells without threads or studs, it’s crucial to pay attention to this detail when placing an order. If you don’t own a spot welder, opting for prismatic cells without screw or stud terminals can be problematic. You might need to incur additional costs and time to either find a third-party service or purchase a spot welder to weld the cells yourself. Soldering battery terminals on your own is risky unless you have significant experience.

Ideally, it's best to buy batteries that come pre-soldered. They generally come in two types: screw terminal batteries and stud terminal batteries.
