Constant loose battery Terminals

I have to say my ProSport has yet to let me down, However one problem it does have is the connection to the battery is always coming loose. Any suggestions for a battery with better connections than what is standard?

BY what is standard, I mean a bolt going into the soft connections on the battery itself.

I think I need a little more cranking power and a more solid reliable connection for the cables.

As it is now if the bolt is not absolutely tightened down on either side it just arcs across the area and will not start, melting anything near, hence causing me to remove seat tighten the battery connection and start bike.I now carry a small allen for the seat and a small wrench for the terminals evrywhere I go:bang: .

I assume you have a lock washer already...

Sounds like the threads are stretched.

I wonder if that terminal protectant goo would help in the threads...

or your best bet would be to helicoil Emhart-Helicoil
