Quality Battery Terminals

The terminals on my truck are in pretty bad shape. Can't tighten them any more. Don't want to replace the entire cable assembly but don't want to use cheap squeeze on's either. With the 2 battery system I'll need a way to double the one on the passenger side.

Anyone replaced all your terminals and what did you use?

Thanks,

I'm using the gold one's for monster music systems. They work great! many holes for large cables that tighten with allen screws.

I just bought some solder on terminals from my NAPA store, not the stuff on the rack. They have heavy duty truck terminals in the back with the big cable.

Thanks, that gives me some options. I'm leaning toward changing all of it to 3/0 wire and go with the solder terminals since I don't have any heavy duty crimp tools.
