Hiya people, my saxo vts battery has gone dead, so i went out today and bought a new one, when ive got it home, ive relised that the battery that was in has diffrent terminals to the one i have bought today, the one that was in has threads, and the one i have got today doesnt, the wires that come from my car (negative and positive) have sort of a cap on the end of them which you can tighten with your hands, rather than what i thought was the regular ones,which you have to tighten with a bolt, n e ways are these the standard wires or has someone changed them in the past, and has the guy at the shop given me the worng battery or am i just missing something and been stupid
hope someone can help me with this cheers in advance

if you have alook at your old battery the threads can be pulled off i used a screw driver to pop them off then you can push them on 2 your new battery

im guessing its an early type saxo with the screw on terminals and not the one with the positive as a clip
