By my last count there were 4 going off and 4 returning to each terminal, maybe thats normal for a Prelude, I honestly have little knowlege of the electronics of this car, and it seems from the posts here that 4 wires off each terminal is not correct. I figured it was something I could work with over the weekend, I do hope to get a Chiltons for it soon but I know I wont have one in hand by tomorrow. Nobody has a stock engine bay they could closeup on the battery for me? I think I'm just gonna get my local shop to work it over when I bring it in to tighten the rear sway bar. I just wanted to be sure the previous owner hadnt rerouted something vital onto one of these excess wires... guess thats best left to someone with more knowlege. $10 says they put the starter or the fuel pump on one of them for no reason at all.
