    Hello,

    Could someone help me identify/label the two different leads that connect to the positive terminal?

    I'm going to be working in a winch as well as using some heat shrink labels to mark wire leads .
    There are two factory positive leads
    One with a ring terminal and another with a 90 degree right angle connector that hangs off the edge of the battery

    Could someone help me identify the role of each of these so that I can label them accordingly?

    I'm guessing the ring terminal is starter and alternator and the 90* go to the fuse and relay boxes?

    I can always trace them, just figured it would be easier to ask and be sure in this case.

    The two on the top of the terminal are OE, the ring terminal lead and the flat 90degree one
