Ceejay29 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hi all, I have noticed that the battery pole on my JDM has worn down, the negative terminal is now loose despite tightening it. My first thought is to buy a shim or something to pack it out. I presume their is such a thing? The alternative is to purchase a new battery of course (would rather not as the current battery is keeping charge just fine). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 change your terminal to UK ones it will save you hassle going forward, and also can get a bigger battery than the tiny one for JDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejay29 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Yeh that is an option, although it isn’t difficult to source a JDM battery. They are bloody tiny though. I’d need an auto electrician to swap the terminals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Yeah they are dinky lol I did mine myself and wasn't very difficult at all but if your unsure with these things best to get auto electrician to do it, literally 10 min job so wouldn't cost much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
