This. If you use the supplied screws, it's near impossible to get the appropriate torque on those screws with a flat head. We use alternative products from
Burndy (both the offset tongue and straight lug) because those are designed for flat heads, not Robertsons. I don't remember the exact specs on the types we have, but the ones we have accomodate 6AWG wire and a #10 stud (we use #10 hex hardware to secure the lugs against the battery terminals).
