I just put an Optima Yellow Top in my CRX and the 70A battery fuse keeps blowing, (3) times now. It blew the first time hooking up the battery. We changed it out and as soon as the screw touched it it blew again. Thinking it might have been the order we screwed the fuse down, we tried again battery side first, when the screw touched the fuse box side again it blew. Any one else have this problem??? Solutions???

 

anybody?

 

do you have the positive and negative terminals hooked up backwards?

 

bump

 

there have been some circumstances where the terminals on the battery have been mismarked, this happened to 2 people I know using Optimas.

I'd recommend using a Multimeter to confirm the batterys' true polarity.

 

yah i'd say check polarities...

put your old one back in and see what happens.

 

problem solved......polarity

 

good to hear!

 

wow , that is very handy info. i woulda never guessed that they would mark the tops wrong.

 

wow... someone should contact the company and let them know.

 

where is the quality control guy?!?!

 

haha... fire his *** for not catching this problem.

In China

Believe it or not, its a common prob with domestic & import batteries, I'm kinda curious as to why this problem is recurring as well.

Personally, I believe they don't give a ****.
Need to report them to the US DOT & to your local states attorney. If there are enough complaints they will be forced to make changes.
