I just replaced my negative terminal with a brand new thicker gauge wire on Saturday. I also replaced the terminal connectors (from the battery to the chassis) and that solved the problem of intermittent power cuts. Those cuts would cause the ECU to reset and then have to relearn which would cause the car to switch off sometimes when coming to a stop and during idle. You know what I mean. My driver's window would lose its auto setting when those cuts would occur as well. Now she's all good 
When I looked closely at the underside of the old wire I was shocked to see how much corrosion ate away at it! The connector itself was in poor condition too. The bicarb and hot water cleaning I did two months ago didn't really help that much. No wonder there was an earth leak...

im already on e85. Setting up a flex tune so i can run 91 too. I started up the car a few times this week with no issues. It should be fine, we'll see. Ive used the yellow top optima my last two batteries each lasting around 3-4years.
i like the drycell agm batteries since they cant leak. And especially with the battery being in the interior i like the safety of that. But not that any of my previous batteries leaked...

Been having same issue with odyssey battery(hks supercharger) for awhile. Just got a braille 2015 and it’s on pare with what the car needs. I use stock location so had to use a die to make the threads a little lower on the hold down. Happy so far, yet we will see. Btw, summit does it for $199.99 with free shipping.
