And I swear less then 10 times during it.
Tired to replace battery on riding lawn mower , connected it the wrong way around because fuck me they make same shape batteries with poles reversed.
Started motor would happily turn the wrong way around but not engage the flywheel because it is mechanical cog that is supposed to flung in place when spinning.
After I had figured that out and reversed the wires the new battery was pretty empty already, went to buy a battery charger.
Turns out it was completely dead by the time I got one because I had left the ignition on , charger will not even attempt in repair mode.
Well at least the original battery would want to be charged by the charger so I can try that one again
Any tips on getting a completely flat ( but new) battery to come alive again?
Jump it from the old battery to give it enough juice such that the charger is happy.
Worth a shot , see if I can find my jumper cables anywhere
If it does not hit the ground, then it’s not needed anyways.
I think drop times are mostly ok, but all the job is trully undersweared. I’d suggest redo it right or overswear next job.
If you want to feel better, look up the videos for changing out the battering on a 2018 Ford escape.
I got to do that a few weeks ago.
Worst I saw was some Lamborghini. You have to jack up the car, remove the rear left wheel, and remove the wheel arch liner to get access to the battery compartment behind it. Then you have to just feel around in there to pull the battery out, and feel around some more to push the new one back in.
With a Lamborghini I can almost understand it because they’re engineered for weight distribution, space saving, etc. Why my mother in law’s Jeep Compass has exactly the same procedure, including the feeling around blindly, I couldn’t tell you.
Spoken in old Jeep: There’s supposed to be a washer and screw combo for the battery?
