I want to go recharge my battery, so I need to take it out of my car. I am scraping the bottom of the barrel here to find tools. A girl I know has some small sockets, what size would fit? It's a long shot but I gotta try.

 

are you talking about the terminal connections or the hold-down...

If I remember right, a 5/16 works for the cable connecions, without looking, I would guess the hold-down to be 10, 12, or 13mm

 

Terminal connections, the hold down is nowhere to be found. Thanks though.

 

10 mm

 

5/16 for terminals

 

Strange, mine is 10 mm for the terminals.

 

what's strang is....if you bring one wrench, it won't fit....if you bring a fist full of wrenches, the first one you grab will fit....

 

Just stop being cheap and go out and buy a craftsman socket set

 

My battery post terminal plugs are 8mm, the hold down is 10mm.

 

Side post battery terminals have been 5/16" as long as I can remember.
