Another way that you can get yourself into trouble is to install one
of those replacement battery clamps that also clamps to the end of
your old cable. They always develop high resistance after about a
year and are guaranteed to let you down. There is nothing close in
quality to the OE batttery cables. Preserve them at all costs.
