Cardboardcat15 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 As the title suggests... Another shot So do you guys think this batt is pretty much at the end of it's road? Or is there some way to fix this? I mean, I can't tighten my terminals without the post bending back, and that makes any work on the car hard if I have to disconnect the battery. I checked it with my DMM and the battery reads at about 11.8 car off, so it needs a good charge but in all honesty I don't want a battery with a fucked up post. Quote My Channel on YouTube.

keepinitloud Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I don't know it looks bad not sure if hittin it with a hammer will help it looks like its pretty much detached from the case cant be grounding that well especially with how that ground wire looks trying to hammer it down might be only a temporary fix if it works witch I doubt Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 hit it w/ a hammer back into the post Thats the idea, and also OP, do something about that b/y stripe wire. Looks to be your stock body ground. Shouldn't have the strands like that. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

Looks to be your stock body ground. Shouldn't have the strands like that. I know, it's horrible. Theres no excuse for it, i just shoved it in there one day as a quick fix and forgot about it. And if what Marine said is true I'll probably try autozone next week, Ever since this post bent back my voltage slowly started dropping which is probably because of this ground terminal. Got my reciept in the glove and everything. And I think ill take it to autozone before I take a hammer to it and if they dont replace it, then I'll try my luck LOL. And thanks for all the help guys!

This and hold a peace of wood between hammer and terminals, or better use a rubber mallet if you have one.

But I'm just gonna go to autozone on monday and see what they say about replacing the batt. If they replace it then sweet I get a new batt, if not, oh well ill stick it out a bit longer unbtil I save enough for a D3400 Quote My Channel on YouTube.
