Trying out a new battery, but the exiting +/- cables are running short by few inches. Trying to see if there's an extender of sorts that would get this sussed out. Attached picture is what I'm after.

Just please make sure that the +ve one is properly insulated, else life might get a bit interesting...

Is there a good reason that you're "trying out" a battery that doesn't seem to fit properly?

May I suggest cutting off the original terminals and crimping on / soldering on cable tails with terminals on the end?

Those 'extenders' look like a massive bodge to me..

As above, this is a proper bodge
Why spend money on a bodge when it could go towards the correct new battery
