I'm assuming you mean a terminal that connects and essentially becomes the battery post. Where upon you would connect everything by using the screw terminals.

I think you're referring to a ring terminal, which bolts to the battery terminal. If I understand you correctly, your buddy just shoved the loose end of wire into the factory battery clamp and tightened it down. That's not the right way to do it. You should crimp a connector (ring terminal) onto the end of the wire and connect it that way. Once it's crimped on there, if you want to solder it as well you can, but don't have to do so.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
