Yeah. Doesn't make much sense to order just one.

Kinda like getting one spark plug or one beer

once I sprayed the battery post on my car before replacing the cables. The car would not start. Cleaned off the post and put the cables back on and everything worked fine. Perhaps if someone could mention a brand ( if that is allowed) it would be helpful. Thanks guys

Replace the cables with made-to-measure of the proper gauge. Not expensive on eBay, and lugs will be sealed tight against corrosion, not like home-made bare wire and lugs crimpred together.

Previous owner had used cheapie cables on my cart and at one point was dead in the water after seasonal storage, even though individual battery voltages were within tolerance and the cables looked not too bad.

Over time, that green copper corrosion can travel under the insulation making the whole system unreliable. New cables will make one less thing to worry about for the next 5 years.
