2012+ Battery Terminals
I tried searching this with no luck. Has anyone upgraded their battery terminals on a 2012 and up JK. I had to replace (and upgrade) the battery this weekend after my winch completely drained and killed my stock battery. During the battery exchange I broke the bolt for the positive terminal connection while tightening the nut. Before the bolt broke, the terminal was still pretty loose on the post. Just curious if anyone has replaced the crappy, thin terminals with something more heavy duty that gets a better connection to the post.

The military style connections look pretty good to me. They have a long stud to accept multiple attachments. The only reason I haven't already done it is because it will involve de-soldering the oem setup and soldering on a new connection. May still do it though, just haven't decided yet.
