Yeah, those are the terminals. Hmm so everything is tight but they still work their way loose....


another question: Are you using a battery that has straight battery posts or mild slant?

- I'm really not too sure how else to word it besides that. Some batteries have a straight post for the terminals where higher end have a wider bottom vs top. If your battery is one that has a wider bottom vs top - then that would explain why the terminal keeps coming loose.

Or as previously mentioned - it could be stretched and just works its way loose over time.
