I've been battling a poor running vehicle all season. It appears to be electrical. While checking my battery connections, I noticed that the negative battery terminal on my brand new Odyssey 925 will rotate about 1/8".
I removed the screw on post and verified that it is the battery terminal itself, not just the screw-on SAE top. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uOT0vKlyMc Is this normal? The positive side does NOT move. Thanks. |

It's actually the negative post coming out of the battery that is moving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGIkZaj_P1c |
