Re: Battery Smoke

These tips are wonderful about handling the battery but this year, the controls mentor saw all of the trouble with last year's battery terminals and decided to get lugs and extra bent Anderson pins for our batteries. To secure the lugs, we used lock washers and a nut that had a star washer at the end of it for some added safety. To test how strong this combination was, I had our chief engineer pull on the battery to test the battery and he was for the first time satisfied with how the batteries turned out. If anyone is interested in the lugs we used or the extra bent Anderson pins I will try to find out the part numbers.

Pavan.
