As the weather heats up, loose connections can become an issue, early faults can occur due to cables, lugs and terminals. This can show itself especially in mobile camping setups due to the increased change in temperatures and inability to control the systems environment. As for hot battery rooms, active cooling can be used. Whether your off-grid system is a house or a nomad camping vehicle, it is the to get those terminals checked.

As your copper cabling expands and contracts, once secure terminals can work loose. Even if you’ve done the best job possible during your build, time and temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc.
