If you are talking about the screw in type, I bought some at Walmart in the auto battery department. They gave me about another 3/4 inche of protruding bolt

I bought a pair from Amazon a couple of years ago. Removed the factory studs from the cables and replaced them with a longer version. I did this so I could wire in a battery minder as I didn't want to use the alligator clips.

I put quick disconnects on both terminals to get them above the battery and make for easier contacts for charging or testing.....

I also use them for the Battery Minder harness. They have worked very well. The harness quick-disconnect comes out below the front bumper for connection to my battery Minder harness.
