Default Should I go with a Toyota battery terminal as it looks kind of old

Or is it okay to use a generic battery terminal from Walmart or Napa? the positive one looks like it's from 1994 and looks old, the negative 1 has been replaced with like something from Napa or walmart , I started getting a little stalling so I'm making sure i have good electrical connections, Anybody know why Toyota uses the banded terminal VS the solid ones u you see so much on American cars

Generic terminals are complete trash, the worst. I installed a set of these recently
Amazon Amazon

Usually a stickler for genuine parts but the above seemed just as good. Long term maybe not? I love that the plastic is red and black could help avoid a potential mistake.

Clean the battery posts with a maroon Scotch-Brite pad they'll come out looking new (NEVER use the wire style battery cleaners).
