I didn't expect this to be a difficult thing to find, and yet no matter where I look and what I search, all that seems to come up are flimsy looking options, mostly from AliExpress and Temu.

I've had a few occasions recently where out of the blue I just have no power; could be unable to even unlock, or no crank. Each time I've just given the battery terminals a wiggle and we're good to go again - neither is holding especially tight. I know I could shim, but I'd rather just get something nice and clean and secure and be done with it.

I don't especially need the OEM part - I have an additional feed from the positive for extras I've added, so needs to accommodate that as well as the two normal cables. Would prefer not to have to buy a heavy duty crimping tool just for it; but I will if its by far the best option, or maybe find someone local with one. Mainly need it not to melt if I have to crank a second time to get the engine to start (separate issue, I'll be looking at it in due time haha).
 
The trick with the original ones is to unwind the bolt, take a socket or something that fits and hammer the blasted things down onto the the terminals, then do up the bolts. Lousy design but they can be made to work.

I bought THESE for my wife's car(the guineea pig for chinese bits :rolleyes:) then i bought another set for my D2 cos they are well made and i'm pleased with them, nothing wrong with chinese stuff these days and IMO better ideea than the idiotic LR type.
