Before using heatshrink we assemble the terminals in a special way. The use of an external tooth star washer between the terminals and the addition of locking hardware will insure that the termination will never come loose. If the terminals cannot move, the hardware (even locking hardware) will not come loose. I am a big fan of keps nuts (lock washer is integrated in the nut) and battery terminals are only one place they are useful. They are available from McMaster.
