Default Best Battery Terminals for my H3?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering what is the best battery terminal replacement that you guys have used? I honestly think that the reason my car is stalling out is because of the terminals. I went to get my battery check out and they two different auto parts stores tested it and they gave it a thumbs up. I do get the code P0017, but I already ordered the Camshaft Solenoid replacement. Hopefully after I install that i can fix the problem.

Military style are good too.
What ever you get just remember that battery posts are different sizes so you need to get (1) positive and (1) negative.

you can cut part of the old ones with tin snips , drill a hole and bolt them on to these, ugly but solid!!

I too got the plain military style like pictured above. Simple, sturdy and inexpensive
and they work perfectly.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get this type of universal POS. They are just as bad as the OEM's.

There are many other good brands as well, just look around a bit.

if you toss the clamp you can use the bolt to go thru the flat of the original drilled.

never use a clamp on copper stranded wire, it will creep and loosen.

I actually like and installed the spt53501/02 terminals(covers the terminals)
BTW, I took off the stinger plastic covers to show the connections:
