Quick release battery terminals

Didn't realise these existed until I came across them on the web. Even Halfords seem to be selling them. They look like there wouldn't be good contact with the battery terminals and some use steel which you'd think wouldn't be the best from a corrosion point of view. Also you'd think vibrations would cause them to work…

If I'm not mistaken Halfords sell these, or similar.

I don't think there should be vibration issues, they snap on pretty tight.
Maybe someone that use them can review for us.

I don't know anything about the Halfords connectors but I do know that Peugeot/Citroen have been using quick release connectors for years.

They do clamp tight and I've never seen one work it's way loose.
