    The battery cable ends on my 2012 are seriously corroded and need replacement. None of the local dealers have them in stock and the price is outrageous - 70.00 CAD per...
    Is there a "generic" replacement that could be used?
    The parts guy at the local dealership said that they might have one from a sienna that "might" fit.

    Any ideas on an aftermarket part that could work? Am located in Ontario Canada if that helps.

    20220507_180118.jpg I have to agree with @e30cabrio on the battery terminals. I even bought some that were wrong that looked really good but didn't work like I expected.

    Wrong ones:
    Car Battery Terminal Connectors Kit - JOYHO 0 4 8 10 AWG Car Battery Terminals with 2 Clear Covers Shims for Car, Marine, Truck, Boat, Motorcycle, Positive and Negative (Pair)
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0897C3ZMY?ie=UTF8

    Right ones:
    $42 Vgate Lead Acid Battery Terminal Clamps, 8AWG up to 4/0(XL) AWG Gauge, 12-Way Connectors, Positive and Negative (+/-)(Pair) for SAE/DIN/EN Tapered Top Post
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CGCWY72?ie=UTF8

    Make sure you get the correct gauge and quality or you will end up with CEL’s popping up down the road.
