Default Stingers

I've read up on the Stingers and looking to get some...which ones? I've noticed a general GM version or a pos and neg specific. I've seen #s 55301 or 55302. Thanks!

The ones you are looking at are fine.

I went with the SPT53102, needed additional wire inputs for my winch. The one with the built in volt meter is cool as well.

It's a high end battery terminal. They make models that can accept multiple wire sizes, handy if you're installing external devices like a winch or an amp.

I have used Tsunami terminals with good results. Got them at Autozone for about $15 each.

I use IXOS, much cheaper than Stinger since they went out of business years ago but excellent quality. I've run the Stinger stuff before and it is definitely nice stuff if you can score a deal on them. Here's mine:

I put Stingers on mine this year. I never had problems with OEM, but I found this set of two for $22 bucks on Ebay! Had to buy them. Here's my Stinger install:
