Car Battery Terminals Wrongly Connected To Terminals Of A 10KVA Generator by boldx(m): 8:01am On Nov 17, 2024 |
The terminals of my 75 amp battery was erronueosly connected to the terminals of a 10KVA generator. There was a spark before the terminals were changed. How will it affect my car battery? Can it work properly again? I don't mind buying a new battery but please I need honest opinions if it will still work properly, retaining voltage with continuous usage? |

The best thing you can do is disconnect it from the generator,connect it back to the car and try if it will work. I believe the car and generator are in the same location so it shouldn't take you up to 15 minutes to confirm. My humble opinion |

Thank you so much boldx:I connected to my car and it cranked immediately. I am concerned about it retaining voltage with continuous usage. |

I don't think you need to worry about it retaining voltage. As long as the alternator works well, there shouldn't be a problem. The only issue is that many people that sell batteries are very dishonest and sell refurbished batteries claiming they are new so a battery that's meant to last for five years or more might start losing voltage after two years. boldx: |

Which grease monkey do that? Battery will sparky spark, it is the generator you should worry about. Those things have color and terminals marked. |

sultaan:Thanks Sultan. Have you had an experience of wrong battery connections before. Seriously the generator didn't have positive or negative terminal clearly marked. |

Honestly I bought a replacement battery called rocket at 75k early last year.it was in the pack,inside a shop,but I couldn't verify its expiry date and I looked like a fool .I know they recycle battery's from India and import to Nigeria as. Brand new labelled 1 Like |
