Adapting Side Mount Batteries to Post-type CablesAll of the automotive supply stores [like Autozone, O'Reilly's, etc.] in my area sell adaptor terminals.

The adaptors are nothing more than an ordinary lead posts with a machine screw sticking out of the bottom that screws into the side post-type terminal on the battery.

Since most post-type batteries, and thus their terminals, have different sized posts for the Positive and Negative terminals and connector clamps, be sure to check your cables to determine if you need one of each size.

The purpose of different sized terminals is to reduce the chance of connecting the cables on the wrong posts.
