How can I stop melting terminals?

How can I stop melting terminals?

How can I stop melting terminals?
This is the second time this has happened, the first time I melted the post off of a battery. I was certain they were tight, but maybe because the batteries aren't secured down it's causing the bolts to loosen up. Do I need lock washers? Why did they melt in the middle?
