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. |

There should an allen head bolt inside the hole on the terminal, as they are removable...tighten it

It's actually the negative post coming out of the battery that is moving, not just the screw-on SAE terminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGIkZaj_P1c |
