Battery terminal repair?
 

The lead terminals on the sv's battery are knackered. Is there anywhere you can get them replaced or repaired?

Id get a file and remove the excess metal, bend the terminal straight.
Get a small piece of steel or brass, bend it over the ok terminal and drill it to the right size hole.

Mate looking at that you may have a elecrical issue as that has had massive heat over it

I think i might struggle to get the loom connector over another bit of metal

Na its always been that funny shape. I think its just the pressure of the bolt that has made it seperate

what you got running over the battery?
Never thought about using another fuse board?

Re: Battery terminal repair
 

I've only got one ring crimp lol

Looking at pics of new batterys my terminals do seem a really weird shape :-k

Re: Battery terminal repair
 

they look like they've been melted like said earlier.

Reg/rec?
I'd let this low burn til after GM

If it was that hot surely it would have damaged the plastic surround? Looks like someone's been ragging it about tbh. Can ya get a nut under there ?

Re: Battery terminal repair?
 

I think the nut would just pull through. I might just buy a new battery

Push halves together with grips and solder it up carefully?

Re: Battery terminal repair?
 

Blegh I can see that going very badly. My solder iron has difficulty with normal soldering :)

Re: Battery terminal repair?
 

don't be a skin flint and just buy a new battery!

That's what I did today. Nice square terminals :)
