Batttery terminal melting

Hey guys, what would cause a battery terminal to become so hot it is melting the stud out. Yes...I know a loose connection. It is loose every time. Same one. I can tighten it down and after 10 mins of riding it fails. Loose connection, very hot terminal. Can "LocTite" be used? I can't figure why this same connection is giving me such problems.
Thanks guys, Bob

I'm gonna change the cable out and see what happens. The nut is definately loose when it fails though. What would cause an overload?
Thanks for you help. Bob

The connection is getting lose from the heat and even with a lock washer you'll have problems, maybe more heat than you have now. I'd replace the cable and see if that connection get hots after the cable is changed.
