Re: Battery post melted
Usually caused by a loose connection or bad cable. If there is enough lead post there you can put a stud in it. 2 inch long 5/16 furniture bolt. Has a threaded 1 inch long end and the other is a lag bolt.

Re: Battery post melted
Melted battery post=bad connection. Check and clean the rest of them....
You can repair the damaged post as mentioned above. Check the cables and connectors while you are at it... |

Re: Battery post melted
Immediately after a long drive I lift the seat and quickly touch all the battery connections. If one is warmer than the others there is a potential problem. I then check that connection. It's quick, easy and prevents future problems.
