2000 Cadillac Escalade

The starter isnt getting a good current from the battery. The battery terminals just look bad and I want to get new ones. What should I look for when buying them and how do I change them?

If the terminals look bad the cable may be corroded as well. Just replace the cable as it would be easier and cheaper for you to do this. Just make sure to disconnect it from the battery first. Always disconnect the negative cable first.
