@Mitch Where did you find the pieces attached to the battery terminals?

If you're referring to the aluminum terminal extension pieces, those are made by Slee Offroad. They're a bit hard to get a hold of as they never answer any phone extensions, but those extensions are 100% necessary with the recent changes to the Odyssey Group 31M battery form factor, as well as others that use center-mounted posts. Toyota's cables are too short to reach the middle.

Thank you.

I am considering making new battery cables, but if I don't need to to fit a battery, I may just wait until mine are ready for replacement.

Still debating between dual Odyssey Group 34R batteries or a single (someday dual?) Group 31M.

NAPA part numbers:
NW728222 neg. terminal $11.31/ea
NW728223 pos. terminal $10.91/ea

These are another option but don't address the greater length which you may require.

There is never a reason to go dual 31's. Financially and functionally pointless. In fact, I discourage dual battery for most circumstances.

Thanks, Keith. Those are the ones I ran on my Rangers. But I did not have any rubber covers - never could find ones that fit.

I made an extension with a copper bar to make my stock cables reach the Odyssey
I like those you have Mitch much cleaner

@Mitch, how do you feel about my solution?
Using a coper bus bar as an extension?

Why not take it to the existing stud instead of the post/lead terminal?

The stock Nissan positive terminal has a bunch of what I think are called fusible links built in. The battery cable is 90° to the terminal. We thought it would be easier to do what we did than to take appart the positive side terminal.
Also, I don't know if that's the question you were asking

I'm referring to the bus bar you made, you bent it up to reach the lead clamp on terminal instead of leaving it flat and just attaching to the 5/16" stud

Not mil-spec with higher price point, but here are some other options for terminals which give you more length to reach the vehicle wiring harness and add accessories.
