If your battery cables are loose and melting the battery terminals, you have a problem! Yes, that is melted lead on both sides of the terminal...
No, no, no, that's one of those high tech self soldering connections, and now look, you've broken it.

Yeah, no great surprise there. Many (dare I say most) folks that do work for other people, automotive, carpentry, plumbing, electric, HVAC, etc... are hacks that do the work half-assed because most of the folks that they are doing it for don't look at it and wouldn't know if it was right or wrong if they did. Sad but true. And finding the people that do know what they are doing and take pride in there work is darned difficult.
