Battery terminal rigging

[drootang]

How has everyone rigged their power and ground wires to connect to aftermarket battery terminals?

The OEM battery had the terminals flush with the front of the battery housing. But every aftermarket battery I've seen has them set back maybe half an inch.

There's not much slack in the power and ground wires, and not much room under the lightning seat.

I rigged a stack of copper washers to fill the gap between the terminal and front of the battery housing so I can use the wire leads unmodified, but I don't like this solution. What have others done?

Make-shift cable spacers inevitably come loose or promote corrosion and wreak havoc on the charging system, specifically the VR which hates any sort of inline resistance.
