Default Dual Post Batt?

Got this today thinking it was a dual post battery (picture online showed dual posts) then after buying it realized there was no post on top. Guy at autozone said I could try to drill it then put a post in, but I don't trust autozone so... Can I do that or is there some kind of special terminal I can use? I like having the dual posts for car audio purposes.

I would take that back and if you want dual post just run a distribution block off of that battery so you have many spots for wire.

Take it back. Don't touch it. Tell them to give you the proper battery, or a refund and run from that store. AZ will void the warranty and you'll be stuck. I wouldn't buy a quart of oil from them much less a battery.

X2 on a distro block. Just get a normal battery, and a distribution block and you'll be set, and not locked into buying specialized batteries in the future.

Sure you could probably drill/tap it- but that is a really terrible idea on something like a battery.

Online. Sites like KnuKonceptz sells em. Just google em or search em up on eBay.

But I'd take that battery back to AZ and get a normal battery if you're gonna run a distro block. I wouldn't keep it for warranty purposes. If their system shows it's supposed to be a dual post and it's not then when/if it messes up they may not take it

They basically sell them anywhere and in many different size wire connections. I would also take that battery back since it isn't what they said it was supposed to be.
