Those bolt on terminal ends are really just meant for temporary repair. I'd recommend getting a whole new cable. The bolt on ends seem to collect corrosion really fast and it will travel down the wire inside the jacket requireing a replacement eventually anyway.

it's probably a fuse of somesort. most manufacturers like to but the alternator fuse right there. you need that. very easy to put a new one in if you need to.
