Whats up...well earlier today I was poking around in the engine bay...and saw my positive battery cable connections looked like crap, corroding and ugly.
If you want, can you just replace the terminal ring on the wire? Or do you have to replace the whole wire?

By the time you get a big pair of crimpers and terminals, alot of times it is easier just to replace the whole cable. They should not be that expensive. Try just cleaning it up first.

Try using battery washers. They are great to keep the corrosion away.

New plug and play cables are over 200 dollars (last time I checked).
