I bought a vehicle battery and the negative terminal was smaller than the positive. That meant that the connector on the negative was still loose even with the securing ring tightened to its maximum point. I could just pull it up and off. After a test drive it was nearly off the terminal. If i use copper, lead or steel to wrap around the battery to allow the negative lead to fix tightly, are there conductive metals to avoid?
And BTW why are negative terminals on new batteries smaller than the positive ones?
