Battery switch

Put a copper nut on the stud and snug it to the base of the stud then install the wire followed by another copper nut.

Use a thin openend wrench to hold the bottom nut then tighten the top nut.

This should reduce the stress on the housing  when torquing the nut to firmly hold the wire for a good electrical bond.

Use the thin wrench on the bottom nut when removing the top nut/wire  because you can break the switch that way too. Been there done this.

Remember to coat the connections  with corrosion inhibitor.
