No, he meant tire size (not wheel size). Larger diameter draws more current - amps.

Another thing that causes excess heat is excess resistance, which means dirty or loose connections. Be careful when tightening battery terminals, as they are almost always lead surrounding a stud, and needs to be tightened in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations, which is inch-pounds, not foot-pounds.

Another possibility is a bad connection between the cable and terminal.
