Battery woes

[macca]

They can be a bugger to lift in at the best of times,LOL
Just a reminder to wipe the posts with a green scourer.
Did it have much crud under the battery ???
Did you get the same brand as a replacement.??

Do you grease the terminals? Never know whether to cover the post before fitting the clamp and then cover the lot or not do it at all.

squirt of crc does the same

You'll find new batteries have a protective coating that needs to be removed,
I usually squirt a small bit of terminal spray when finished, weather proofs the lot.
Even Lanotec will work,,,,, great product IMO LOL

How did you go @roofy ? Did @Winnie install it and test the engine run volts?

Very unusual for a battery to be a dud, but I don't really know too much about them.

Concerned it's in the car as suggested, but more than happy to be proven wrong.

You don't need this!

I've just had a 120 ah dual purpose one shat itself only 4 months old..
It just started self draining and in the end nothing would bring it up in charge..
Got it replaced and so far it seems good..

Sounds like good news roofy, Hopefully it was a dud and no more probs now. . .
