| I winterized my SWing in the fall and removed the battery - now when re installing it, the screws that connect the terminals seem way too small - They just go loosely into the holes in the terminals - I know they're the same screws - any ideas? |

| Sounds like the slide nuts fell out of the battery's terminals. See if you can find them and re-install them. |

| I think they are 10mm nuts, if you've lost them! |

| Thanks guys, I guess I never noticed the nuts - must have fallen out. |

| Actually, they are 6mm inside dimension, 10mm hex outside.
Just nit picking. :flower: |
