    Due to being disconnected and reconnected and moved around so often, the metal ring/sleeve on the terminal connector that goes on the negative post on the battery is about to break. I'm talking about the thing that the big negative wire is crimped to.

    I'm looking to replace it, but everywhere, I only see big and bulky connectors that are made to accept a large amount of accessory wiring. I have zero accessories and the accessories that I do plan on installing the future will be low current and not hooked up directly to the battery.

    Who makes affordable low profile connectors?

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Check out Marine Battery Terminals .

    I buy mine from Mc Master- Carr I used to have at least one order a week.

    It is the only type I use. Last I checked the price was around $5.00 or so.

    Don’t know if these are considered low profile or not but I bought the SDHQ battery terminals.

    I'm slowly switching all my vehicles to military terminals. They have been great and the covers are awesome. Don't get the cheap ones, fastronix makes a nice set.
