Default Round Battery Terminals

Ok guys i switched to round battery terminals last year but the ones i picked are pretty crap and i think it causing battery to not to charge as the wires keep falling out.





Whitch one do you guys use? Any pics?

i'd put some solder on the ends of the wires, need a hot soldering iron though.
i had the same problem initially and that solved it.
i did use the heavy duty ones from Burton Power though, as i found the cheaper ones corroded and caused charging/starting issues.
