Battery cleanup

[BuffaloBig Dog]

On my battery, I have 3 accessory wires and the main starter cable on the positive terminal....Dues to all these, bolt keeps loosening up..I do have a star washer on , but keeps loosening up .
..Whats the best way to eliminate the accessory wires, and just have the main starter cable on the positive terminal??

Im thinking a pigtail off of starter post, to a small terminal block....? Suggestions??? Or do they make something that mounts to battery terminal to help with this issue, and not sacrifice current loss to starter?

where in progression do you have the main? do you put it on first? auto zone/ advanced auto should have distribution blocks that will help you eliminate a couple of them.

Depending on the brand of batt soem have both side and top mounts. On mine I had a couple of old batt bolts so I distributed the wire to both the top and side mounts. The Batt was a Harley AGM. It elimnated the pile up on each terminal.

I have the starter cable on first, closest to the terminal......My battery post has holes on top and front to accept the bolts..But I can only use one or the other, as a brass insert is used to thread the bolt...So only one way or the other...

I have all accessories connected to the positive post on the CB. The Battery Post has the Positive cable and the CB Lead no mas. No problems with it getting loose.

Maybe a new bolt, the ones that i have on there are not the best hex head, and have a phillips head cross on the inside....maybe a better hex head, and able to tighten a bit better

I usually paint on some liquid electrical tape, seals everything from corrosion and keeps things tight. peels right off later. Home Depot sells it in bottles for about 7 bucks.
