Thanks Frank , I have been wondering how to secure the batteries for years. I think I can make this set-up. One thing I always hate is how the cables are all scrunched up after putting the battery box back in, seems like the terminals are under tension or pressure.

Thanks, I like the look of these, should be quite a bit harder than lead so you can crank them down good, and the cable end part has lock washers...

Is there a best place to get new terminals?

Could I put that conducting grease inside the bolt holes to prevent this from happening again?

Thanks for all the suggestions, definitely like the idea of the grease. The bolts on two of the terminals were in fact loose, I guess driving the truck around the bumpy yard and the engine idling caused them to loosen up.

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?
