We had this same question a couple weeks ago.

Hi,

A "friend" managed to strip the bolt-hole for the positive
cable connection.
Now it'll no longer tighten sufficiently to allow a
firm/reliable
connection.

Is there any reasonable and permanent way to fix/correct
this?

I"ve tried putting some galv. steel wire into the thread
area but it
either does no good or makes it too hard to seat the bolt
far enough to
create surface to surface pressure of the cable to the
battery.
Using solder instead I seem to have created a
sufficiently tight
connection to maintain the connection; for now, anyway.
Since solder has no
"memory" it's sooner or later going to let the connection
loosen again;
probably sooner in our changeable weather.

Anyone have a better fix? The battery is almost new or I'd
just buy another
one but it costs an arm and a leg.

HTH,

Twayne
