Find the midpoint of each of the wires by balance or measure.

Bend the wires at that point back onto themselves flat.

Carefully straighten and flatten the wire again when done.

It's also a good time to grind, file and polish the crimped end contact point, so it will rotate well on the battery + terminal.
