[RE-wrenches] Trojan L-1r studs

[bob ellison]

If they are too tight this can happen also. I have asked my battery
distributor about torques in the past with no definite answers.

William,
If the connections were not tight enough heat could have built up to melt
the bolt mount. It is not all that uncommon and confirms the importance of
properly torqueing all connections.
