I would use ring terminals,as they will only not make contact if the bolt is loose or came completely out.A much more solid connection , as this on a side post batt for 1)a clearance factor,and 2)not sure Id trust the wiring to stay rigidly connected with vibration/movement of the batt due to road bumps ect.And with ring terminals, you can rotate your wiring to different directions as with this, you are limited.Ive used top post connections such as this style, and will have to say..I always had issues.in several vehicles wiring coming out,ect. Deff have to check your connections like once a month(I check mine every time I do an Oil Change..Habit) .Stinger/XS do make great stuff.I run theyre Pro series Distro blocks/fans ect.
