Whatcha using them for, just to upgrade terminals or wanting extra battery direct cables (e.g. amplifier power)?

Just standard terminals. Solid Copper I'm guessing? With dielectric grease?

Can buy $1.50 battery post shims if the connections are loose. If corroded..clean with a pocket knife and/or brass brush and apply vaseline to post and terminals.

He's talking about a wire brush with bristles made of brass, not the shims. The shims would be copper
