Re: Melted batt. terminal
Will a 1" socket set screw work for this fix? I can't find any larger socket set screws. Any help appreciated.

Re: Melted batt. terminal
Used the fix posted here, worked like a charm! Replaced all the battery cables with new 4 ga, cleaned all posts and connections, made sure everything was tight and sprayed corrosion inhibitor on all connections. Cables aren't heating up, even after hours of heavy use. This site is a wealth of information & help - thanks guys!

Re: Melted batt. terminal
No worries, I'll do it when I get home tonight. I found it @ Home Depot in one of the fastener drawers - it's marked "Socket Set Screws" and they had sizes up to 1" long. I used 5/16" threads, but I'm pretty sure they had 3/8" too. Since I had to buy the tap & tap handle, lock-tite, etc., my total cost ended up closer to $20 - still way cheaper than a new battery & I can re-use all that stuff. I'll post the ugly "before" pics too.

Re: Melted batt. terminal
Thanks. I meant 5/16", got mixed up with the cable lugs.

Re: Melted batt. terminal
Here's the before & after pics, hope it helps. You can definitely get the 1" inch long stainless 5/16" socket set screw at Home Depot. I just followed the instructions posted earlier in the thread. Good luck!
