Default Battery clamps for battery

Afternoon gents,

decided to get the battery tray done and stick a brand new fresh battery on the S2.

But... Most if not all battery's are round post not square...

I assume it is ok to use something like these to convert?...

Not necessarily these exact ones (because I haven't looked into the best ones yet) but some like these.

I have read a few bad things about using these due to 'clearance' and bending wires but looking at them they look like they will stick out 'sideways' and should be ok?

Any advice greatly appreciated before I go ahead and order battery and clamps..,

Regards

Onkar

Been running a set of these for about 8 years without issue.

As for issues with bending wires. The terminals are round so you can spin these to which ever way yours wires join up.
