While installing my winch today I ran into a scenario regarding the winch power cables hooking up to my battery terminals. I was going to just hook up the - winch power cable to the - terminal on my battery and + to + but I ran across a terminal upgrade and wanted opinions.

Some of the off road guys say to upgrade your terminals to the types listed below. I have just your basic battery terminals (pictured below).

Anyone have any issues with flickering of gauges, etc with the old school way or do you recommend I go for the upgraded battery terminals listed in the second picture?

 
I'm going military spec battery terminals

I would personally upgrade but as long as your current battery terminals are clean they should have nothing to do with flickering gauges.
