iv always had bad luck with those kinda battery terminals, on my yellow top specially. i usually use the regular batt terminals and use a bolt/screw to connect them to the battery.

im thinking putting something around the battery post to make up for some space that way it lets the terminal tighten up. just an idea

The issue is the Knu terminals. The compression fitting is awesome, however the screw to secure it onto the post is lacking. It feels like it tightens down, and there is no wiggle...but if there is any tension on the wires at all, the terminal twists and slips right off; even fully tightened. You have to find the perfect angle for the terminal and wires to get it right.

These things are expensive, so you could try scoring the inside of the terminal to give it more bite on the post...but I said screw it and went to flat terminals and washers to make sure there are no issues.

However, I have to say I am not impressed with the quality of the ibar kits...as the metal screw/bolt points break out of the surrounding plastic with very little effort (very similar to the Knu terminals, but rather than slipping off, they break)...and others I know have had the same issue. Not up to the quality of the batteries, which are really amazing. 30+ bucks gone in a flash, so be very careful about putting even a little bit of stress on them!
