Question Battry terminal auxillary post size

I have a new 2022 F350 6.7. I noticed that some of the battery terminals have factory installed auxiliary posts on them. Does anyone know the size and pitch? I am sure they are metric (maybe 6MM ), but I don't have a metric nut selection to try and fit.
Thanks for any help

I think you are right. Mine is a 21 with the 7.3 and dual batteries and the auxiliary posts are M6 1.0. Those little things are handy. Oddly mine doesn't have one on the positive cable on the drivers side battery. I am going to need something but I am not sure what I will end up with. Passenger side got the cables for the winch added there.

I am going to drill an tap the driver side positive. Thread the new stud bolt up from bottom (I have clearance) and use a capture nut up top. Probably go stainless to prevent corrosion.

Do you have a link or picture to this? I feel like this is something that I wish existed but I never really researched it.

Hope this is what you were looking for. Came from another thread.

This is how I did it. I used a 6mm stainless bolt and I have connected a 1/0 welding cable to the driver's side battery.

I tried to trace the positive wire from passenger battery and found nothing better to attach a wire to. Starter doesn't seem to have anywhere to tap into. Probably will be trying this also. I hope there is room for a fuse also.
