[QUOTE="WestCoastDan, post: 461779, member: 23120"] As far as I know, the factory battery clamps on ALL JK models are 100% S H I T. They loosen and rotate around the battery posts as the vehicle flexes. Partly due to the short cable lengths, but mostly due to the really poor clamp design. As they rotate, they gouge out a ring/groove around the post, reducing the contact area and effectively creating their own failure mode. This is why I have become a staunch supporter of replacing the factory clamps. [/QUOTE]
