Battery Terminal Melted, can I fix this?
I have a 2003 Club Car 48V with Tow/Run switch, Trojan T-875 Battery. The cart still runs but I am afraid to drive it or to even charge it.
I know that the screw was not on tight enough and it caused the terminal to melt. Positive. I saw the sticky on the "How to repair melted battery terminals" and my questions are: The nut is back on tight but with it melted ONE, can I charge or too dangerous? and/or can I still drive it? I drove it back from the street to get it back into my garage. Luckily it just a few houses down the street. I would like to repair like the picture but I am uncertain of a few steps. TWO Do I need to just cut the damaged terminal piece were the cable is connected to it or do I leave it alone and/or cover it? Once I do that, I would just connect the battery cable to my new terminal? |

Re: Battery Terminal Melted, can I fix this?
If I cut the melted terminal how do I cover it?
Also, I have it on Tow and will disconnect all of the cables -- with that said, I can then drill and then go forward. Thanks for the link, that was exactly what I was looking at earlier and I keep comparing it to my current battery and think I can continue on the correct path. Also, the 5/16-18 socket, I can only seem to find those with a head on it. It looks like the one in the picture does not have a bolt head on, I am assuming I can run to Lowe's/Home Depot and get a socket set without the bolt head on it. |

Re: Battery Terminal Melted, can I fix this?
Hi All
Thanks for the posts and very helpful... additional questions to ensure I am doing this right. How do I fix the melted terminal? Do I cut it off? And once I cut it how do I cover it so it doesn't melt when i am trying to charge my Golf Cart and/or while I am driving around? Do I just leave it there once I install the socket set screw in? |
