I am trying to replace my Son's neg battery cables- question is which one do I use- The second one looks like it- BUT I have 2 of the computer(?) connections one on top the other on the bottom (as in the second pic) AND can I hard wire the computer grounds? Someone told me them funny looking connectors were for a computer-they seem to be ONLY grounds- please send help quickly as I am in the middle of a Christmas tree lot- I'd rather NOT call AAA- Thanks in advance

Either, if I had it in my hand. Spliced as needed to get the rig home. Fix it right later. :D

I'd have probably used some jumper cables to get a ground long enough to get it home. Like Andy said, fix it right once youre back on your own turf
