"BE SURE TO WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHILE BEATING BATTERIES WITH LARGE MALLET"

"My batteries are in perfect condition except they are dead."


Kind of like "ran when parked"

Wish I had a nickle for everytime I heard that one, then found the engine locked tight. I can remember my dad dropping the tractor battery, in the dirt, when I was a kid.

And I thought I was the only guy who drops the batteries to loosen the sulfation. Just remember, as previously noted, the batteries are not built like they once were. And dont drink while you are doing it. L.O.L

Hammer, a tool anyone can use to a certain degree of expertise.

I've also heard to put the charger on "jump" mode a few short times and that is supposed to do the same thing as the hammer trick but I've never had any luck with that, maybe the betteries were too far gone. I'm gonna try the hammer method next time.

Curious, as these 6tl's are almost square, what are you calling the sides or ends?
I've used the drop & bounce method in the past with some success
but haven't tried the hammer yet.

If I drew a line between the terminals, the sides parallel to that line I called front and back.

Perpendicular to that line, I called the sides.

Look inside the filler cap. The plates run left and right to the sides.

This is the Deuce section, so I was referring to the 6TL's Which have posts in opposite corners, so a line between posts would be diagonal

Look inside the filler cap. The plates run left and right to the sides.

Bad eyesight I guess, I can't really see in there, maybe if I drained the acid down some.

Right now I'm guessing the sides are where the grab handles are.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.
