I'm gonna get new terminal connectors but I dunno what size I want. I found these things in solid copper.

www.ebay.com/itm/231220580417 1/2 gauge

I believe the stock battery cables are 4ga. Definitely NOT 1 or 2ga.

He's just replacing the battery terminals connectors. They will work if you have a good crimper. The type you hammer works good and is the cheapest.

I dont know what that is.

I ended up ordering the other size so I just gotta return the first one.

How do I put this on though? Its like 2 wires that come togeather but to get the stock terminal off I have to cut where they're fused together.
