My battery connectors are really loose, and I'd like to replace them. What type of connector (from Amazon, Walmart, home hardware, etc.) Should I replace them with? Would this one work? If so, how do I connect the wires?

These battery cable ends work pretty good.

You cut the old battery cable end off and then cut the insolation away to expose the wire and then insert it into the new battery cable end and tighten, it is best if you use dielectric grease on the cable to help stop it from corrosion. Let us know if you need anything else. Be sure to clean the battery terminal post as well.
