Compression Battery Terminal

HI,

I would just replace the whole cable. Those two bolt strap things are just a failure waiting to happen. That compression connection may seem like a good idea but unless you can get enough compression force to cold fuse the copper in the cable to metal in the connector it is going to fail eventually as a high current connection. That cold fusion process takes a big, special crimping tool on cables as big as battery cables. I doubt very much that you can get that kind of force with a nut that tightens.
