Here,...let me fix this for you, then maybe somebody will answer.

I bought a generic battery terminal, but it will not fit over my battery post. (maybe I should consider if there is a difference between sizes for a terminal for the positive post and the negative post)
I think I need the one that looks like the one in the pic, but I only need the red (positive) cable. I can't find it anywhere locally, all they have is black. But again,...I only need the red one.
Thanks.
BTW....What are these type of battery cables called?
And...What if anything can be done to stop them from corroding so easily?

Always use the anticorrostion spray after cleaning terminals or getting new ones. It is either red or dark purple and prevents battery terminal cauliflower growth.
Most NAPA and car quest stores should stock black and red battery cables.
