I know its a Optima. I meant what he did with the cables.
Why use both port (US - screw and Euro 'pin')? And what the heck of a kind are these cables?? - additional sleeves?

Oh sorry for thread jacking.

Would be a good idea to splice it up, beginning where I started talking about batteries.

By the way, the Optima problem is a 'common' problem with batteries. If their getting old or had many deep cycles. I had it 'kinda' happen to a red top, too.

The alternator is loading the battery with its around 105 amp, but the battery is to 'rotten' to put that energy somewhere so it begins to dissolve. Mine began to bulge, started boiling (the plastic around it) and if I where driving an additional hour it probably would've blown up.

(Did I get the grammatical tense right???)
