    As a little update. I've been using this connector: https://www.amazon.com/Pico-0710PT-T.../dp/B00030COC4 for about 2 months. It works like a champ. Thanks for the recommendation.

      Like the other posts, less than $3 at auto parts stores (I got mine at Auto Zone). Even though I use dielectric grease there was corrosion in the connectors and I recently had a prong break in the female end (I find them difficult to separate). At $3 I'll live with it.

        Mike: I should have carried forward your previous point. Thanks for doing this, saving some money is a good thing.

          My thanks to those who suggested the plug as well. I got mine at NAPA for $2 and change as I recall, soldered them on and haven't had a problem. Way better than the tab and slot connections I used before.

            i'm now upgrading the wire/wire connections to this:

            both wires push in, and there is a piece similar to an inverted alligator clip which connects the two. As long as you strip off enough plastic, there is no way to miss a connection with this plug style.

            i'm still wire to female at both battery terminals tho. to be continued!
            What are those connectors called. Do you have a link? Thx
