Default loose starter wire ?

i just recently put long tubes on my car along with a few other things and im guessing in the middle of things the hot starter nut never got tightened down, well i took it down the street in about 5 minutes it started cutting in and out like the aternator was goin bad, it was late and dark lastnight when i noticed the starter nut was only hand tight

would this loose connection make the alternator stop charging the battery, or loosing the signal, im gona snug everything up tonight , just didnt know for sure if that would cause it or not
