Re: Attaching Cables to FRC Batteries

I am not sure it really matters. It is not a strength joint. The bolt is not really part of the current carrying circuit. If you follow good practices & never carry the battery by the cables, any metal bolt properly torqued shouldn't loosen. Lock washers are OK for piece of mind.

I do not see any threads sticking out of the nut. Your nyoc needs full penetration to be useful
