    ang yaman naman ninyo to use gold or platinum for a battery connector.... i'll bet copper would do just fine... equalling the performance of those in gold or platinum.

    afaik only high speed semi-conductors benefits from the use of gold/platinum in their contacts...

    my 2 cents, peace.

    Copper na lang, this would be more cost effective compared to gold or platinum connectors. Sayang lang ang pera, no changes in terms of performance naman imho.

    IMHO, the best connector is actually a lead coated copper connector. Iyong lead plating ay ang nakadikit sa battery terminals. Sa kabitan ng copper wires, copper na, di lead. Mas maganda ang long term connection pag both connectors are made of the same material.

    Sa Electronics, ang SOP kasi ay pag tin plated ang device, tin plated din ang socket. Pag gold, gold din ang socket. Same din sa mga connectors. Plugs and sockets are made of the same material.

    nakow--plated lang mga yan...sa tingin nyo gold/platinum ba talaga yun--price palang e di totoong gold--magkano nalang ang real gold bettery terminal--e ung kakapirangot ngang ginto libo halaga..

    any good cheap battery connectors will do, kahit yung tig-25 lang oks na yun, basta maganda angpakakalock, at di maluwag...

    as much as posible, umiwas sa imitation quick-release battery termina--mabibili mo sa ace/auto supply--madaling lumuwag yun at pag nakain ng acid in time, di mo mabubuksan...

    Agree na plated lang yan.
    Cost of gold $799 per ounce.
    Cost of platinum $1508 per ounce.

    Kung talagang gold or platinum eh di masmahal pa ang battery connector kesa kotse.

    What he means ay gold plated not the real gold, you know ala bling bling. Unless na may minahan sila ng ginto.
