i am NOT a fan of those battery terminals that just sandwich the cable between a strap and the terminal. they promote corrosion to wick into the cable, plus only provide connection [properly] to the top and bottom of the cable. you need to source a crimp style, solder style, or a furl style set of terminal ends, then protect the connection with a good quality heat shrink, preferably the marine grade with the built in "sealant". plus, in doing so, it will look more professional. just my opinion, but nothing bothers me more than seeing those cheap battery terminals on an otherwise super nice engine bay. i have cured many an electrical gremlin by replacing that kind of terminal in my 50+ years of playing with cars.
