I just checked a couple of local stores and it seems that if you want

you will need:

One quickly realizes that by the time you have lugs big enough to fit
your 10 or 12 gauge wire, they are long enough to touch each other, so
your wire has to be a bit of a loop (which you can aim downward away
from the heat). Also, you need a pretty big lug to get over the BAT
terminal. I
