I replaced it. I'm not sure where it goes because the label was gone. I recognize that cut. That's what's left after you saw through the nut and bolt flush with the washer/lug to free the cables from captivity. Quote Selected 1 Likes

I started it up yesterday and this morning with the boost on. Fired up really good. This afternoon I caved and bought another battery to go with my two new ones so I've got a whole set of new ones. It just so happens that the battery in the Jeep is out of warranty and keeps dying on me also. So I'll take the "good" old one and put it in there. I had the negative secured out of the way and it became unsecured and made contact with the battery post draining the battery on our way back from outlet recent trip to NH. This evening after I installed the 3rd new battery In the coach I Figured I would try to start it again. This time without the boost because I feel like it should be able to start easily without the boost. It turned over almost as fast as it did earlier with the boost on. So I'm very happy with that. I'm still watching the voltage to see if it's going to drain. I didn't check to see what kind of draw it had though. I may do that next week. Quote Selected 3 Likes
