Stupid battery!

I recently purchased a battery online. Only to find that the leads from the engine are around 4 inches too short in order to reach the battery terminals :veryangry: Any suggestions guys appreciated, apart from getting a further new battery ??)

Yerp... Battery lead extensions are the way to go if you don't want to permanently extend the cables.

Thanks guts for your input. I've never heard of them before! I've had a look in EBay but nothing so far. I even contacted a couple of good car asserory shops who just said you need a new battery end of :-/
