JW. The type of battery cable/clamp in your pic above is real pretty type to look at. However they are rather short service life. I've seen some of that type where the cable was only stripped back maybe 3/8 inch and would eventualy work loose because they are not heaviry crimped or cast with terminal good enuf.

Same type of cable on my 5 exec ran ok for about 15K miles and then suddenly dropped out of the terminal one day.
