Battery terminal acid damage - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey guys, you guys helped me with my battery problem not too long ago which I believe I took too long to acknowledge and have suffered the consequences (tons of corrosion). Basically, my car won't start now and I'm sure it's because of these rusted terminals on my cars batteries which is shown in the first picture. The battery was tested and it is in good shape.

The second picture is just a different angle, you can see the cable or whatever it's called connecting to the terminals looks like it's in pretty bad shape because of some corrosion so it probably needs to be replaced too.

Anyways, what do you guys think would be the best route to approach with this? Should I just get oem parts from Toyota and have them installed at Toyota/local auto shop or should I just go to Autozone or something and have them order/install it? And what are the part numbers if I go the oem route?

I can't do it myself sadly, I don't really have the proper tools. Thanks for any help I can get guys, this has been a huge pain, I've gotten 5 jumps in the last 2 days haha.
