Re: Battery problem

Jake,
The hardware was packed inside the box that the battery shipped in. I highly recommend placing a star washer between the battery terminal and wire terminal when make the connection. This small addition prevents the two terminals from moving and that it turn prevents the hardware from becoming loose which in turn raises the series resistance of the connection.
