Re: battery problems and fix?

I would add to Eagle's advice, watch when you are attaching the wire terminals to the battery terminal. It makes a difference in which orientation you mount them and on what side of the battery terminal. If you are using the KPA or similar cable clamp style temrinal, simply turn the connector so that the screw faces the inside of the battery then mount on battery terminal on the side facing in. This allows the battery case to protect the terminal from damage.
