A Electrical Question

Posted by plh_in on January 22, 2007 at 08:43:45 from (207.250.220.192):

I have a Farmal Model A that was converted to 12v via the previous owner. I have a 1 yr old battery (cheap one from TSC). My problem is when trying to start, it was barely turning over, so I charged the battery & got the same results. The negative side terminal & ground wire get hot when trying to turn the engine over...

Do I have a junk battery here...? Cables from the battery are fairly new as well as the cable to the starter which BTW also gets hot when trying to start. I'm leaning towards getting a new battery but would like the "experts" thoughts.

Thanks for any input!
