Thank you very much Yogu. Your videos sure do help a widow turned motorcycle mechanic. Really sucks having to take on this job but I refuse to give up riding because I lost my soul mate and master bike builder.

This saved me money and the embarrassment of a man talking down to me a shop ❤ THANK YOU

Thank you so much for this !

Yeppers I've seen that happen a few times, well done Yogi brother 💯✌️😎

Thank you so much brother. My 2012 Dyna Wide Glide just went through this exact same thing with that same model battery, only difference was both of my terminals were melted. Realized that I completely forgot the brass spacers and was trying to figure out what I did wrong. Thanks a million for the vid!

Thank you so much, Yogi, for sharing, I'm also Rider, but, my melted negative lead connector happens to my RV. Keep up the good job.

Always coming through when I’m lost. 💪🏽

Going to check my battery for sure.

Good video!! Definitely need to check those connections especially before something bad happens.

Thanks Yogi, these tips are very helpful to me. God bless.

Thank you. I was wondering what caused it.

Thank you brother 👍. Subscribed 😊

Yeah this was a very helpful video my bike was having this problem and I thought starter myself and yep negative part of my battery is totally melted. I will definitely be checking from now on

Good Stuff Yogi. There is another issue that could rear its ugly head later on. Loose connections, at the battery, starter, or ground could cook the alternator or components of the charging system. They will work harder and over time shorten the life. Dirty, rusty, grounds, and undersized battery cables could also create issues. I know many starters have been changed because of loose connections or bad grounds.

I found this video while looking for a how-to on replacing a battery cable lug. I am fixing my first motorcycle up after it had set a couple of years and know fuck all about mechanics (thank you KZfaqrs). One of my terminals was partially melted. Thanks to you, I will be buying another battery so I don't light my crotch on fire. My genitals and I thank you, sir.

Loctite on battery's is wild

If the terminal is not tight to the battery will that cause the same problem

Thank you. This video was very helpful. Happy new year

THANKS YOGI ! PROBLEM SOLVED. GREAT VIDEO

Awesome very helpful 👍!!!

Good vid. My batterys negative terminal just melted.

Yep, going on year 6 with the original battery in my Victory.... I check the terminals with every oil change.

I know it’s been a bit but you should make a video on how to connect the battery correctly so we don’t have this problem

Just had this same thing happen to my ‘11 XL1200C. Nearly burned my nuts off. 🤣 never seen the brass spacers though

Loose connection. Been there done that.

hey yogi i got a 82 yamaha 650 yics just recently my battery started to discharge i'm not sure if it is the stator or my cable connections are broke could you please let me know if broken battery terminals could make your battery discharge please and thank you for your time

Is it the same for the negative terminal?

Wow ! i wished i had seen this vid before i tried to hook up my new battery....there were no brass spacers so i just did the best i could......Wrong ! the negative post started to smoke and next thing i knew it was starting to melt....couldn't take it back due to damage. What can i do now Yogi? Get spacers and try to recharge the battery to make it work? the terminals are still there and the holes for the bolts........Please advise...Thanks !

Is there any way to fix a melted terminal? My battery melted after only 1 month. Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks !!

I bought a new battery and the red wire gets very hot and melts sometimes smokes if I keep trying to turn on

I recently bought a brand new car battery, and before I installed it, I accidentally set a flat screen TV on top of the battery. I didn't realize the plastic TV stand had a metal plate on the bottom of it, which caused a connection between the positive and negative posts, which caused both posts to partially and unevenly melt away. I'm looking to rebuild the posts somehow. And I'm thinking of wrapping tinfoil around the posts as a mold and filling it with some type of metal to rebuild the cylindrical shape. But in not sure what metal to use. I'd like to avoid melting lead and pouring it into the tin foil mold surrounding the posts. Is there anything premade I can buy (like liquid solder or something similar) that will work to remedy this situation?

👍

Can a Negative terminal ado the same thing ?

Is it possible to get it repaired?

What are my chances of the supplier warranty-ing my battery in this condition...

thanks for sharing, but here is a suggestion: get right into the subject without all the rambling intro

Clan??..lol
