    Better bring along a battery booster or at least jumper cables with you. If the connection to the battery is coming loose while driving it means your alternator can't recharge the battery. Maybe not right away, but sooner or later you're going to have a dead battery from cranking without recharging (happened to me on my last vehicle).

    Easy fix, in theory I guess haha.

    Was gonna get an Optima, but had no time until all the places closed. So had to go to Walmart cuz needed a battery...was offroading the next day so I "had" too hehehe.

    Walmart's car computer told me to buy a 27S or something, but that thing looked huge. Bought it anyway cuz I "needed" it, it is too big, was an inch higher than the battery that was in there before, so it touched the top of the hood...fire waiting to happen hooray. Was fine for offroading though, went to Sams Club got a YellowTop Optima, they only had the universal fit one though.

    Good news and bad news lol, Its the same size'ish as the older battery, but the bad news is that my battery hook thingies that hold it in don't have enough thread to go down enough hahaha, so I had to put the spacer in, which made it the same height as the walmart one, so more touching the hood until I can get different hook stuffs.

    Hooray its alive! Now to just fix the windows that completely crapped out haha, one down tons to go.
