The wire broke at the post for this crash so i just re-soldered, but i think my battery moved around a few times after that and so it's obviously loosened the posts over a bit of time.

I'm going to get foam spacers for my battery tray so that the battery wont move around anymore but will the post/s break off eventually? I'm scared a post will touch another if it comes completely off and I'm not really in the mood to smoke a 3rd rx8 in 2 months. This particular rx8 i have 10 gauge wire on and i think it could also be a bit heavy on the posts...should i change to 12?

any help/suggestions will be appreciated..
