Red face Installing battery?

I need some info on how to install a battery (I fell as silly asking, as this thread probable looks) I got a Odyssey battery and it does not have the terminals like the OEM battery does. So im asking what do i need to do to get this into the car?

1 - Open the hatch.
2 - Lift and place battery in trunk
3 - Close hatch
4 - Go get correct battery and ask them to install it.

OK that doesn't really help but thanks. I know there are guys on here with Odyssey battery's im just looking to know how they hooked them up. Im probably going to end up having to change the connectors on the cables.

That would open a bucket of worms IMO. Don't mess with the cables.

I'm not a fan of the Oddys (except for racing applications) but I'd venture that if the factory terminals won't fit, or won't reach, then you got the wrong style/type of battery.

Double-check the fitment.

I a ideat, I went back to the web site (PWJDM) and looked around. I realised there is a option to add brass terminals and i dint order them. Im going to have to look around the site, maybe shoot them a email and see if I can order those terminals separate.

the terminals on the battery are the smaller terminals.. you should be able to get caps that go ontop of them to make them fit inside the cables.

edit:nvm i see you found that out. goodluck
