Default Battery cable replacement

This is a no brainer on how to, but I've found that its extremely hard to find the correct cables at the multple auto parts stores I visited. They all have the cables with one point connections, but my honda hs 2 points on both terminals. Anybody know of any good online stores that would have the same exact ones?

I replaced my battery with a nice one and now wish to have new cables for optimum connections since the old ones are leaving the greenish corrosion on my positive terminal even after I put the new battery in. they are very corroded and need to be replaced. sometimes it takes a little longer than it should to start the car up after its been sitting. there is also slight power loss when i put an electric load on my car at idle, like the ac, heater, power windows, brights etc. i think its due to a bad connection in the cables...anyway, thats where im starting at least.
