Angry help battery problem!

when i take hard turns or hit hard bumps something really dangerous happens, my battery pops loose. the negative and positive ends that are connected to my battery are not secure or atleast one side is not. the negative side clasplike ring that goes around the battery is partially broken so it cannot be tightened properly. where can i get this piece, i also have no clue what the name of this piece is? its in emergency thanks.

you just need to pick up new battery terminals at autozone, strauss or any auto parts store it will not cost you more than 3 dollars a piece.

ditto all above - easy fix. Be sure to pay attention to which terminal you replace (color coded). This way if someone else works on your car they don't screw it up. (Backwards terminals = probems in electrical system)
