JD,this is an interesting problem.I worked on trucks for 40 years,and thought I had seen it all.In the winter,jump starting ,cranking while charging 300amps into dead batteries-we abused a lot of batteries.I have seen some with almost no voltage,but not that I remember totally open circuit;in fact I doubt I ever checked for open circuit between + and - . I have replaced a lot of batteries,only saw a few blow up,most were just weak or dead. I guess its possible the bar connecting plates is designed to be a fuse,I never heard that before.I would guess its more of a distortion thing when clamped down that weakened the bar,and then caused failure under cranking load.We had owned a '99 Monte Carlo once that the battery failed in; no warning-in fact it was in the garage.I just replaced it,and had no more problem.That car went on to have several frontal deer collisions,and no battery problems.I just don't think you have a vibration issue.I googled battery construction but did not see anything helpful,but maybe something would pop out for you.I was wondering if you could contact a battery rep from a supplier that you would be familiar with.Good luck,Mark

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
