Title: Electrical issues - battery arc
Post by: Zuki One on July 04, 2006, 10:23:26 AM
So i was just movin the zuki around the yard! And i forgot the battery was unstrapped, then i saw this stump taunting me so i put it in 2lo and ran it over it was all good until i came down the backside the engine died. So up comes the hood and i see the battery laying on the intake arced and dead so i put the charger on the battery overnight, so now the battery is holding a charge but im getting that stupid clicking you know like the classic starter problem!

I would check all the normal things:  Are the terminals clean?; Is the ground connection good?; Are the cables ok?; Is the acid level ok?; etc.  The battery might have a problem.    The battery just went south on my tractor yesterday.  I determined that by monitoring the voltage on the terminals while the CFO tried to crank it.  The voltage dropped to almost zero when she turned the switch.

A big discharge might have bent the plates. Have you checked the electrolyte level? Also check that you haven't damaged the cables.
