Has anyone ever replaced their battery terminals?

I was looking over my engine bay today and notice my + battery terminal has a crack in it. I have a parasitic drain in my car the requires me to disconnect my battery while she sits for the winter. I started to take the terminal off and noticed if I pull on it it will snap clean off the rest of the wiring.

Can I replace the terminal with one from an auto parts store or do I need to get a Lexus/Toyota specific piece?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can use anything that fits Doesnt matter what it is. However you will have to shave the head on the battery for the ones like this:



cause it just doesnt open wide enough. but again, you can use any, but the stock ones might be easier though, and I'm pretty sure you can get them from an auto parts store:

yea, its cracked there on most of my cars, thats why I dont like them cause its just a thin aluminum metal. Now if you dont mess with them a lot, they're gonna last, but if you're constantly messing with them they're just not gonna last. I end up replacing them immediately anyways due to audio reasons.
