Is My Battery Done For?

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.

I usually say this jokingly, but seriously. Hit it with a hammer.

If you bought it from autozone it has a life time warranty and free replacement no matter what's wrong with it hope this helps

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

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.

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.

I've actually got a rubber mallet, didn't even think of that.

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
