red positive battery terminal cover broke off
So the little red cover that goes over the positive battery terminal fell off...not surprising since the plastic is brittle and endured a lot of stress from being flipped open and closed over the years. From what I gather online, keeping this terminal covered is a safety issue and required by law.
Is there a generic cover that fits the 3G battery and cable perfectly? Would rather not shell out $40-50 to replace the entire cable (and another 1-2 hours replacing it), since the original still works fine.

You could just get one of these... I use something similar in my car... Very snug fit and it clamps down ever tighter. Comes w a cover... Plus u can add some big power wire to power an amp or something else

Just leave it. It's not needed.
Only safety issue would be if, while working on something, you would put wrench or screwdriver and short it out.
Otherwise it protects from nothing.

Thanks for all the suggestions and clarifications...one less thing to waste time/money on
Maybe just so it looks "complete", would it be dangerous to re-attach the cover to the battery cable with electrical tape?
