I used a round wire brush that attached to my drill and cleaned all of the terminals and hooked them back up. Same problem
    Dude, you've most likely got a short to ground. Your battery is not supposed to get warm terminals.

    The (-) terminal was fairly rusty and not very tight when I touched it yesterday. I had been starting & stopping the engine quite a bit. After I cleaned the terminals and started it several times they did not get warm. I would not be surprised if there was some sort of short or open circuit somewhere - now only if I could find it!
