Super glue worked, but now it won't charge. I had been trying to reduce the charge from 10amps 'cos I knew that would boil a lead-acid battery and I am running an Optima and had no idea what excessive charge would do to an Optima. Can't see what I've dome wrong on re-assembly, think I'll wait till my electrical genius mate John visits: there's lots of other stuff I can be doing before it is on the road.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Should have left it and found a way of putting a load to reduce the charge. When I used to run old Fords daily, I would turn the lights on for a long daylight trip to save the battery from cooking.
