Linda,
I hope that means soldering the wire terminal after wire insertion instead of soldering to the battery terminal. I have frequently suggested teams use an external tooth lock washer between the wire terminal and the battery terminal to prevent slippage. Using locking washers on the hardware is simply not enough to prevent loosening on this critical termination. All of the above with heatshrink added is an ideal solution.
