I'm a bit confused about the difference between "cosse", "collier" and "plot".
Cosse and collier both appear to translate battery clamp.
Cosse and plot both appear to translate battery terminal.
Any ideas?

Yup, that's right!
Some batteries have round 'post' (or 'pillar') type terminals, which require a 'ring' or 'cap' type connecting terminal.
Other types have flat 'lugs' with holes in, which require a flat connecting lug to mate with them.
Generally, 'cosse' gets used for 'battery terminal' where the type is unspecified, or specifically for the lug type (either the battery or cable side)
'Collier' ought only to be used for the 'ring' type connecting clamp; as for 'plot', I have come across it less often, and in contextually more ambiguous situations, but I think (at least strictly speaking) it ought to be applied only to the round 'post' or 'pillar' type battery terminals.
