Re: Bolt on battery terminal stuck
I am trying to add a on board charger to my boat and the posotive terminal on the deep cycle just spins when i try to loosen the bolt..any ideas on how to get the bolt off
I'm not following you. There's only one bolt in a typical battery/cable arrangement. See number 2 below.
1. You have a large positive battery terminal and a small (threaded) positive battery terminal. Is one of those turning? If so, your battery is toast- it's broken.
2. You have a thick battery cable with a clamp end and a bolt and nut that secure it to the positive terminal of the battery. Is that the bolt that just keeps turning?
3. You probably have a smaller battery cable with an eye end that slips over the small, threaded positive terminal of the battery, and is secured by a nut or wingnut. If the nut is what keeps turning without unscrewing, either the nut's or the battery terminal's threads are stripped.
Which is the problem?
