A good way to insure the connection of the terminals to the battery post is the use of star washers. By placing a star washer (internal or external star lockwasher) between the battery terminal and wire terminal, you will prevent the terminals from rotating around the provided bolt. An additional lockwasher under the nut will prevent the hardware from loosening as well. Any time the terminals rotate, you have the ability for the hardware to loosen and the resistance of the connection to climb. In addition, the lockwashers will pierce any surface contamination on the terminals giving you a lower resistance connection.
