You can get replacement battery cable ends that are made for the original style side posts. The top post design can be a problem as the postiive terminal is very close to the firewall brace. Too much movenment and the post can contact the brace. That is not a good thing.
The stock battery is a Group 75 style. If you can find the Interstate Battery brand, get the MT75. If AC-Delco batteries are available, get a 75-6YR battery. Note that both of these batteries are the OEM side terminal type.
A full-charged battery that is not connected can last a long time. If you have access to a 110-120v electrical outlet near the car, use a battery tender to keep the battery at full charge. Two of the best IMHO are:
Deltran and
CTEK
Both are available from Summit Racing and they ship worldwide. You can also get the side terminal cable ends from Summit.
