These thin connection can be eaten through but still touching. You can read
battery voltage but won't carry any amps. G.M.

GM, The early optima batteries did have a problem with thin terminal connecting links to the plates but that was long ago and the fault has been rectified. That problem was also partly caused by having an optima on charge for longer than required and allowing it to gas for long periods. They are by far the best 6 volt battery available for old cars.
