Battery Termnals getting real hot
« on: March 01, 2006, 02:59:31 PM »
I was haveing a battery chargeing issue with the alternator so I replaced it after having Auto Zone check it.  During that time the Battery Termnals were getting hot.  Well this has been about a month ago. Well noticed steam/smoke from under my hood and found out that the Battery termnals/wires are getting hot again.  Could it be something else than a new alternator or could it be the wires from the alternator to the battery.

Would like some help on this one

Thanks in advance.

The battery might be shorting itself out inside.  I had that happen on a neighbors car.  They didn't have smoking terminals, but they kept going through alternators.  The battery would start the car, so I didn't think to check it.  My mechanic said that it could be a internal short, and that it could cause the battery to be extremely hot.  Try changing out the battery.
