BATTERY


JKJ

Recommended Posts

I have a Banner battery attached to my SS 1700. Using my battery conditioner to keep it topped up. Tonight, as perhaps two or three time s previousyl, when I coming to start it, with the conditioner not attached, the negative terminal flashed/sparked when the key was first turned. The car did start, and again on subsequent tries. Any ideas why the the terminal should spark in such a way ?

Is the connection clean and tight? Usually the sparks would be caused by a poor connection and the charge "jumping" from one surface to another.

Sounds like the actual connection is dirty so making a poor contact. Thus the current is jumping from the battery terminal to some uninsulated part of the cable connector.

 

Good news though is that is sounds like the conditioner is doing a good job.
