I just bought an optima battery, and I need a little help on what to do the the plates on the negative and positive side. Im going to cut the old terminals off and put new ones on by splicing into the old wires. I think there is 3 wires attached to a plate and it connects to the positives side, and 4 wire attached to a plate that connects to the negative side. I just need to know what to do with them, or what to buy to make it a clean install. Thanks.

i got new batter terminals. the bigges you can get. its really hard to get the grounds to go up to the new terminal so i spliced them into a 8 gauge ground wire (2 actually) and then the main ground to the terminal. the power side is really hard and mine is ghettoed together. Afro engineering to the rescue!!!!
i can do pics if you want em.

 this is the back of the battery. i really ghettoed it together cuz i was pressed for time. this was actually after replacing all 4 power wires. still had probs. these wires dont want to stay in the terminal. my suggestion to you is to find a water proof distributor block ( 1 4 gauge input and 4 8 gauge outputs) or get one and put electrical tape around it after install.
