Yeah, I was afraid that was going to be the only option. I would use the top post, but I need bother terminals for audio and OEM applications.

Wow I spent so much time watching your signature I forgot what the thread was about. It should be warranted, call optima and tell them and they should replace it. give it a try, what's the worst that can happen.
