I'll use a multimeter at the battery store, I'm sure they'd have one!
Yup... because at night, under a red light... the red terminal & clip isn't red....

This is the very reason I have pigtails off my battery & use Anderson Pole plugs... pigtails will only ever be removed when the battery is being replaced (therefore not in the field) & Anderson Pole plugs are impossible to connect to each other incorrectly... & they don't easily pull apart like cigarette lighter plugs do... another bonus..
