Default Side post to top post battery adapters?

The battery on my wife's 2011 Yukon crapped out yesterday. The truck is set up for a top post battery. I have a good side post battery in the garage from deleting the second battery in my LLY. For less than $10 I can get a set of adapters from Napa that will let me run the side post battery in the Yukon. Has anyone used these things before? Are they any good?

No, those are only meant for use when charging a battery.

Thanks. After looking at the engine bay again, even if those would work I'm not sure the battery cables would reach, and they would be pointing straight up off the side of the battery. I'll just get her a new battery.

I've been using the dual post batteries for quite a few years now. I just like having the option & versatility.
