Hard to say since the first time I saw it was when it broke but the pigtail was between the battery and the cable. The cable end is shaped to fit the battery, not a pigtail.  I suspect this put  undo stress on the cable terminal. If I reinstall the pigtail it will go under the bolt,  outboard from the cable end. The tiny terminal looks like it was simply pulled on until it failed. The replacement is a bullet-type (pun intended). Probably a better choice for an RE anyway.  ;)
