Battery power issue in gensis sedan! Possible fix

[FablesGenesis]

So I have been dealing with intermittent power loses when I would turn off my car. There would be I spark sort-of sound and then no power. Knowing that the battery was in the trunk I opened it and upon trying to get the stuff out of the trunk to get to the battery I happened to hit the floor mat. This reestablished my power. It worked for a while and then got worse. It got to the point to where even if I hit the trunk bottom to get the power back, it would just shut back off when I tried to start the car. !!** FIX POSSIBLY HERE **!! I Found the if I giggled and slightly pulled up on the positive terminal casing I could start the car. SO THE PROBLEM I FOUND IS THIS! Where the casing sits on the battery to connect the terminal there is a small gap by design between the casing and the battery. This causes the terminal to sit at an angle very easily. You can tighten everything down completely and still have this issue. I know! I simply found a peice of padding that had fallen out of the bottom of my floor mat and wedged it in the gap to eliminate this space. I have not had one issue yest and it has been two weeks. It had gotten so bad that it would shut of everytime I would stop and try to turn off the car. One morning the power shut off on the highway cuising at like 80. Luckily it was early morning and Noone was by me. Like I said wedge something in between the terminal casing and top of battery. See if that works for you. It has worked so far for me. And yes I have back and forth to the dealership with issue and no solutions.
