Default Scorpion Stinger Battery

I've got a Scorpion Stinger LiFePO4 battery headed my way and was wondering if anyone knew what sort of adapter I would need for these connections?

Alright, so I got it installed after a little bit of work. Basically I had to find some post adapters, bolt them down to the weird terminals on the battery, put post shims on top of the adapters, then connect my leads and snug everything down. The car starts up really quickly and everything seems to be working as it should. Here's a pic of the finished product as well as the weight difference between the OEM and Scorpion Stinger battery.

I have one of their batteries in my car now also. I'm using a slightly larger one than the one you're using.

Still going strong. I think the true test will be when winter gets here and the temperature starts to drop.

I'm not sure how winter resilient a Lithium is versus the others but I doubt it will be better. turn on your side markers for a minute or two to warm the battery up before you start it, it should help.

Also which model did you buy?

It's the one pictured in my original post, the SST51913-FP.
