I know this is an old video but I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been trying to fix my girlfriend’s car all day, almost started to think of bigger issues when I just stumbled across this video. While watching I remembered, thinking her positive post seemed a little bit looser than on my car when trying to jump it. Sure enough it’s exactly as you described. Thank you 🙏🏼
I did one easier just buy a battery terminal “shim” is the key word goes directly over the terminal post and slide the same piece right on yes it takes a little bit of tapping to place it down but it’s super easy
Who knew that a battery terminal could be so complicated.
Well, I didn't need to dremel anything out, but the video did give me a suspicion to try pressing down harder before tightening and that did the trick. So thumbs up, and thank you.
I just changed terminals to the old school ones
mine goes ALL the WAY down, original battery. still won't tighten up.
but can't get it to open up enough for one of those shims
Mr. MacGyver I love it
Thanks for watching
Nice tip! I've seen that same issue on some of the newer Chevy's.
yea ive had a hand full of these.
That's what a little extra work can do. It's all in the details. Good one Oz.
yes sr. thanks for watching
A simple job done by an untrained person can leave you stranded. Attention to detail. Nice fix
Nicely done OZ and a huge thumbs up!
my plastic part wiggles alittle but the terminal is snug to the post.So my terminal is tight to the post no wiggle just the plastic part wiggles cause it sits up a little,but all my contact is good and tight
Could I not just through the plastic away? Lol
My Kia Sorento LX 2014 exact problem (loose terminal fitting), the exact fix for my problem. THANKS!
Thank you Oz. Good job. I appreciate your videos. Have a blessed and safe week.

I have a terminal battery like that and this was it. Just to push it down before tighting the terminal
Im having a similar issue. However the terminal/battery have never been touched or replaced. There is zero corrosion, has the connector to the terminal stretched?
Cool fix
nice job mate
bodgit and leggit garage thank you sr
thanks for this video i have this same problem . i will fix this when i get home . thanks again .
great video
This helped, ima have to fix my wife’s car
Awesome to hear this
Good deal Oz! Thumbs up!
great tip oz thanks
gonz garr hey thanks for watching
How do you assemble those three cables
Where's the footage of you putting a caliper on the plastic shoulder at the base of the battery post and showing the camera the numbers on the caliper, and where's the footage of you showing the plastic housing (IN FOCUS) as you show which pieces of plastic are in conflict, and by how much? Where's the footage of you putting a mark on the plastic to show how much you intend to remove, and the attempts to grind close to the mark?
very helpful thank you boss!!
Awesome!!
Nice! Did you see the link to the euro plate website I posted? Might be in the UA-cam spam folder on your comments page. It'll be cheaper to buy from a US site than have my sister make & send one.
Sweeeet I’ll check it out in a bit
Great help, thanks.
THANKS FOR SHARING
Good tip sr
I hate this design. I just made a little shim but because I thought the problem was with the metal but next time I change the battery I’ll just throw the plastic away.
Do you even need the plastic part
That's what I was wondering. Other than just covering everything up and making it look pretty, what's it's purpose? Seems you could go without it and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Great job Oz Mechanics. Just saved me a huge headache on a 2015 Kia forte. Been struggling with battery issues on my friends Kia. She even got the battery replaced but it never solved the issue. Thanks a ton 🙏🫡
