hi all - quick one.

Shorted my battery today (using a tool , it touched the ground wire on the battery and SPARK) - now it seems to be dead. No lights or no power at all coming from it...checked fuses and they seem fine.

Can it be recharged ? Or is it totally dead ?

cheers ben

 

Check your main power fuse. This has happened to me, and all I had to replace was that fuse. Even though it looks to be good, it may be blown. I would rather spend 5 or 6 bucks on a fuse, than 60 or so on a battery. Check the cheapest parts first.

 

yes very true...just replace the fuse

 

fixed guys. It was the fuse. It was rated 80A , altho the box says 100A. Shopuld i replace with another 80A or use the 100A as listed ?

 

100A. Do what the fuse cover recommends.
