And if we did the car wouldn't start


Umm, cobblers. Many's the time I've come to remove a battery terminal
only to find it's loose - and the thing's been running fine.


Well if if it's capable of handling starter current it's not going to
cause problems with the much lower currents from an alternator...


The car is rarely moving when the starter is being used.


So you're saying you have a battery connector which rattles loose when the
car is moving but magically tightens itself so the car can start?

Do you write for CSI?
