Battery melted while in use. Both terminals fried & loose

dimanche 1 mai 2016

Skid steer stalled on me in the middle of a mud hole and burned a little from rear compartment yesterday after 2 hours of light work.

About 8 weeks or 50-hours ago I added an additional Ground Negative cable from battery to motor block because the skid steer stopped starting without assistance from a jump. So I checked ground by adding a ground cable and that seemed to fix it fine. Battery checked and charged fine according to a load tester.

I've never had a battery do this before. Anyone knows what causes it? Both the Positive and Negative terminals are melted and separated from the top of the battery.

It's a tiny 12" long by 6" wide battery, about the same height as a car battery. This is a 3 cylinder New Holland LT185b diesel so I'm not sure how much punch it needs for startup.

Any ideas what I should check just to be sure I'm not going to fry a new battery if I install it and splice in new cables about 8" from the terminals?
