I do not recall reading of anyone else who has broken a battery cable clamp. I would expect operator error over a design flaw.
Battery Cables
Purchased a 14 pure the other day and decided to put an umbilical cord on the battery. When I loosen the nut on the negative cable, the terminal broke into pieces. There was a minimal amount of corrosion on it. I connected the positive wire to the top nut of the terminal block so I didn't disturb the clamp.
Anyway, I'm threatening to replace the battery as it is 3.5 years old. I'm fearful the positive side will also break when I change out the battery.
I see a superceeded part number of the cable. Was this a known issue?
I'm still under warranty, but the servicing dealer is a 160 mile round trip.
TIA
