Poor positive battery connection

[GabrielKnight]

I've been experiencing increasing problems with battery, starting with a red battery light on dashboard but eventually ending up with battery dying out while driving.

It may come down to a number of things including alternator and tired battery, but I want to eliminate the possibility of poor battery connection first.

Please see attached photos of my issue and advise if you can help, thanks!

Short term improvements (eg. some product to increase conductivity) would help, but long term solutions (eg. details of how to upgrade the positive connection to be more like negative setup) would be excellent.

There sould be a cap on your positive battery plug. When you're tighting the bolt (red disc) up, it bonds to the battery's terminal. I cannot see this cap on your pic.

This is what my connector looks like from the side.IMG_8085.jpg

The red thing doesn't seem to tighten anything. It just spins around on top!

The cap I'm talking about covers the connector and compress the clip that is visible on your photo when the red disc is tightened up correctly. This cap is missing on your pic.

Does it look like fez with a hole on top? Does it sit underneath the red screw thing?
Does it actually provide a better connection?

Does anyone have one for sale please? PM me.
