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

ok but what about the second connector near the bottom of the battery tray? Or dose that hook up seperately
 
Well I guess it's time for the tow truck- startin' to rain
 
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
 
close-out update

here is what I finally did- I got a plain NEG cable and attached it to a motor lug (AC bracket) then hard spliced them 3 ground wires and BAM back on the road- so far so good- thanks for the input- Vic in SoCal
