Battery/Wiring Question

[ingine53 10+ year member]

I have a side post battery(Autolite 84) and have decided to buy new terminals for it since my other ones are stripped. I found one online and was wondering if it would fit on my Autolite 84 battery. Here is the link for the terminal.

Also, I found some ring terminals for my 1/0 AWG wire I bought and was

wondering if it mattered which one I got. Below is the link to both.

im not gonna do your research for you but i will tell you that you need 3/8" 16 thread terminals for the side post and any standard auto part store terminal for the top posts

My main question was if I buy that battery terminal, will it fit on my battery. I tried to look up my battery and couldnt find any information. The info for the battery terminal says "Perfect Fit for GM Side Post Batteries" so I'm assuming it would fit right?

i got that one on my gm side post and it works alright. u can find them at parts store instead of waiting for it to ship.

just go to autozone. They have tsunami as well as some off brand where the actual post where the ring terminals go is a good bit longer than any other I have worked with.

You will have to look at your vehicle too, some GM's have 2 positive connectors at the battery (like my old Cadillac Eldorado) and you will need to find the "long" version of those side post adapters, if you only have 1 positive connector those will work fine.

EDIT: just saw you linked the "extended" one, make sure that you need them or they will be too long
