Deep breath....Now be careful ....breath ....and dont break anything else!
Possibly, but Cu is still going to expand 50% more than the steel. Can tell by rubbing a file over a small area.
Never leave tools on top of a battery (your first photo). My neighbour is looking at his burnt out BMW every morning after making that mistake.
First piece out with a little bit more of a press... So this is the bolt as such...
The nut which is on the lead still, seems to be more difficult to get off.. Bizarre.

I then used a coach bolt. To put it all back together.
All because my battery wasn't fully charging, I found tails fitted to neg post. So moved them to an earth.
I was then putting a BM2 on to the pos terminal to monitor the battery.
All done now, battery fully charges and I have become addicted to checking the state of charge on the app....
