They are normally 5/16 whitworth, well they were on the Numax leisure batteries I had before fitting the lithium.
Well I suppose they are a British Battery . Are they still using up old stock?
They can't still be ordering british threads on their posts connections --- or is it just tradition?

The Numax I had with both posts and threaded terminals was metric, M 8 I believe.They are normally 5/16 whitworth, well they were on the Numax leisure batteries I had before fitting the lithium.
M6 normally & requires a 10mm socket/spanner.
"Our" pipe threads were adopted by most European countries back when Adam was a lad (and when everything else they used was Metric).Might be, just like a lot of gas fittings in Europe are still Imperial, at least they are in Greece.

I don't know - but it will be for some reason like the one you suggest. The Whitworth thread form on which BSP is based was a British standard at the start of the Industrial Revolution so I suspect we were exporting something that led the way.Reason?
Was it because UK was ahead in installing 'town gas', so appliances were being exported from UK?

now go to a high street hardware shop and ask for a Whitworth nut.
They probably need cheering up.

Just another bit of useless information
5/16 is the same thread on photographic tripods
A metric adjustable will fit.Or a Whitworth spanner.

If it's softer metal, as on a battery terminal, they will use a coarse thread.
