The lead that has melted away was really only in the path from the plates to the now-missing stud terminal, and not between the plates and the automotive terminal.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-19309231867176962592012-07-18T15:09:21.091-04:002012-07-18T15:09:21.091-04:00I am always amazed at how resourceful you and Loui...I am always amazed at how resourceful you and Louise can be when these issues arise! I had exactly the same problem when I installed our 6 AGM's this spring. I used an insulated stud mounted above the battery bank for the 3 cables so I only had one 4/0 cable on the battery itself. I'm hoping that will prevent meltdowns. I had a meltdown on a terminal last year, but that was caused by a loose connection.Jimhttp://www.mightybus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-5639202940954423632012-07-15T14:20:06.300-04:002012-07-15T14:20:06.300-04:00Thanks - once again - for an excellent overview of...Thanks - once again - for an excellent overview of a problem, and its solution.<br /><br />Yes, your story is a message to myself: Every time I think I really understand something, and couldn't possibly missed something important, real life returns to remind me that I always need to be a student.Phil L.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-77044432452520221732012-07-15T13:23:53.683-04:002012-07-15T13:23:53.683-04:00And I was just telling myself sitting here in the ...And I was just telling myself sitting here in the M/H washing the dog after reading that great reply on Bus-nuts that Sean really knows his stuff and like you stated in that post you don't always take your own advice. No mater job well done. Even though I don't boat anymore can't wait till you start living aboard and began writing about the problem's that come with water.

But it wouldn't be good to change out only one battery leaving the others a year older either....
