Had one installed last October. My friend told me about them and he's a car guy. Has a nice collection of them. Come to find out on here they're basically junk. The one I have has a bunch of crud on the positive terminal. Eventhough I applied the red battery terminal protective stuff.
Anyways, during the install the guy tightened the positive term first then the negative. As he was tightning the negative the wrench he was using touched the positive term and an arc of sparks occurred. Scared the guy pretty good since he jumped a foot in the air. In hindsight I should have demanded a new one but this was the last step and I wanted to get out of there. This was at a Rural King. Battery has a one year free replacement and just wondering if you guys have any thoughts, ideas, suggestions etc... Oh and I paid $55 for it "installed". Car cranks fine. 05 Toyota Matrix 70k miles.
