K, dumb question I guess. If a stud (post) can wiggle, albeit slightly, is that a problem?

It sure can be a problem, but it also might work fine for a long time. It is certainly not desirable, and I wouldn't want it on any machine/vehicle that I considered to be critical.

That’s kinda what I was thinking. It sure didn’t come new that way. I think I’ll take it back where I bought it and see what they say. Friggin’ paid enough for it that’s for sure.

Sounds faulty from the get go. They don't come loose with normal use and should take some abuse as well before that happens. Worst case is poor connection internally and hydrogen BOOM!

That post attaches to the grid plates. Quality group 31's use a 1/2" rod to the grid. Cheaper one's a 3/8". When they wiggle the rod is usually corroded and getting thin allowing the stud to move. This is made worse by the farmers best friend. Using his pliers to wiggle off the cable instead of prying it straight up.

A stud post should not require any prying. Remove nut and lift coble off.

Missed the stud type. Both my 7120 Magnum and 1660 combine have that style.

Well I'll be taking it to the store Friday, we'll see what they say.  Battery is only 7 months old.
