I have always been told that nuts and bolts are assembled as follows: Bolt (set screw) with flat washer, through material and any other attachments, next flat washer, next spring washer, next nut. And so it was with Victron gel/agm batteries until recently. Now the set screw has two flat washers, one spring washer, fitted through battery terminal and then has a nut on it. So what you probably think, take it off and re-assemble in correct order. That’s what I thought, but the M8 set screw thread is very slightly bigger than the hole in the battery terminal. As the screw has been inserted from the battery side, it cannot be “bashed out”. I actually wonder how the manufacturers get the screw to fit at all.
Any ideas?
Has it even been raised as an issue?
