Otherwise, as previously mentioned - just get a new terminal.
OEM, not aftermarket.

I am talking about the rings that tighten around the positive and negative battery posts. The rings are on there so tight that I cannot rotate them or move them with my hand. But they somehow come right off when I drive the car. Then I have to tighten them on again. Then they come off again. etc.
