Oh man. Why not use a carbon arc like most of us who do cable replacement? With the carbon rod you can get down in there and make sure you're melting both the post and the new connector. Care needs to be taken to not let the molten lead flow out the bottom but with practice that isn't a problem. Also, the drill cleans the sides of the post you created but it leaves the top crusty. A few passes with a rasp or a file will clean that up so you don't have that crap messing up the job. The gloppy terminal the battery shop did may look bad but the connection is most likely rock solid. Your terminal top looks great but you can't be sure you don't have cold joint in there. You can make the final product look good with a carbon arc too but what matters is the connection between the post and the terminal. Just check out these guys: th-cam.com/video/aWD3wOKZvgU/w-d-xo.html . They used a bigger carbon than I prefer but the video shows the proper way to do the job.
Hey man I just fix that battery for bad burns , I replaced the cables , heads up you should always burn down that post and then add lead
Great tip! Thanks!
Bet that's a cold burn buddy.... another thing... u NEVER wanna burn with nearby cells closed... cells need ventilation when u burning.
What type of drilling bit are you using?
It’s a special bit that drills a new post. I’m sure if you search battery post drill bit you can find many variations. Hope that helps!
Great job! Where can I fine a bus bar for my battery, I can’t find them anywhere Thanks
Were can I find a post drill socket like that boss ?
Thanks for watching! I got mine through the TVH catalogue
Question: where can i get the bus bar that goes from post to post ? then when i solder them dose it have to be a lead free bar? Thanks a million Greg
No you use a pure lead bar. Most forklift parts suppliers carry intercell connectors.
How can I order the drill bit, is there a part number, thank you
Just type in battery post drill bit into Google and there will be a lot of options for what you might be looking for. It’s pretty common luckily.
Great work sir I am also working the same
Thanks for watching! Hope your jobs go well 🍻
great job
Thank you
