Ok, I have Toyota Corolla 2000 LE. It runs good, but there is one problem. At some point, the battery stops working. So, if I start the engine and drive around, then when I stop the car and try to start the engine again - there is no electricity because the battery is not responding. If I open the hood and move it around a little bit - it's back on. I think it loses contact at some point of time. It's a little bit loose and can move in all directions at least 1 inch. What should I do? Is it the battery, or maybe some wire? What would you suggest?
Thanks in advance!

I think you have loose battery terminal connections. Pull each terminal off, and clean it with a wire brush or emery paper and tighten them securely. This will solve your problem!

Wow if you can move your battery that much you need to fix it now. GO to the dealer and get the proper hold downs. If after you move it around it comes back then yes you have a lose contact. It would have to be one of the two clamps on the posts.

your connections are bad. get some new wires and tie the battery down with at least a bungy cord. before you put the new wires on, clean all of the terminals.

How about getting a new battery. You can get an used once for like 50 dollars.
