meade916 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sorry if i don't have the actual footage of this, but obviously i didn't mean to do it. I was reaching down to hook up the charger to the battery bank when POP. I bridged the gap between positive and negative on my 16v bank....which was around 17v at the time. It shot out a BEAUTIFUL spark, one like i have never seen before. Almost like it was made of gold or something LMAO. Anyway, i burnt my knuckle and ruined my ring. Please learn from me and take off your metal jewelry especially on your hands when working around any kind of batteries, ESPECIALLY 16v plus. Now the question is, do i get it fixed or leave it like that for a story to tell? click here for a mini video clip http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/v518/meade916/DC%20Tercell/IMG_3752_zps77b50f9b.mp4 and NO my ring isn't discolored. It is showing a little bit of blue because i am taking pics of it by my pool water. I usually keep it clean and polished but i do wear it while working most the time. 2 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

Jessica Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 looks like about a dollar an amp for a fuse rating on that thing. Could have probably taken a lot more current. Glad you are ok.

meade916 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 ya i had a black charcoal spot on my knuckle at first, now it is kinda red. But it coulda been worse for sure. But i love my ring and i hate to see it look this fucked up. I used to not wear rings while working because of this reason (and other safety reasons besides fire) but i guess i just been getting lazy. lesson learned! learn from me!

meade916 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Nice. What'd the ol' lady have to say about it? she's a good woman, she was making sure i was ok not even caring about the ring. She knows we can get it fixed. God damn i feel dumb though i shoulda known. There is so much raw terminal down there it is an accident waiting to happen. oh, at least i got my first real number out of the tercel right afterward.
