This is not a "minor" problem. If battery is disconnected while the car is moving, the voltage regulator in the alternator alone won't be able to soak up all of the spikes from the alternator, leading to weird electrical problems, a blown OVP, etc. I fixed my - cable as described above; if this doesn't work it isn't difficult to replace.
