We once cooked a T105 in an Electric vehicle situation, where the
terminal was loose and cause the lead around the bolt to melt.
They're just bolts set in lead. I removed the original bolt, and
then drilled and tapped into some solid lead to the side of the
damage. I was able to screw in a 1/4" stud, and make the battery
operational again. (Don't go too deep, Boom!)<br>
I later sold the battery at a significant discount to a DIY friend.
It worked fine for him, but you don't want to be setting up a
regular customer with something that MIckey Mouse. <br>
Seems like the battery manu owes you a battery, I've had over 1000
batteries installed, and I never had a new post do that (of course I
use WIndy Dankoff's magic battery butter (vaseline)on everything
during assembly)<br>

far as the galling threaded post, if you try to cut it off
it might wiggle enough to break it internally, nothing
good down that road. If you cut it off is there enough
room to get a nut and lock washer on the remaining stud?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the easy cure is probably replacement, anything else is
iffy. But if it works it saves you the cost of a battery.

good point that if there are multiple parallel

should be equal length to the series jumpers in each
string. I see the logic in that.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

you saying that you weld the interconnect cables to
