I Bought an Abandoned Man Lift… It’s Worse Than I Thought!

What happens here

Disconnect the old, corroded battery cables. Using new 1-ought welding cable and a hydraulic crimper, create fresh, properly crimped battery cables with new terminals. Connect these new cables to the batteries, ensuring secure and clean connections. This improves power transfer and prevents future corrosion issues.

Goal: Ensure proper electrical connectivity for batteries

Tools and materials

  • Cable Cutters — Cutting welding cable to length
  • Hydraulic Crimper — Crimping new terminals onto welding cables
  • Wire Strippers — Stripping insulation from welding cable ends
  • Wrenches/Sockets — Tightening battery terminal connections
  • 1-ought Welding Cable — Creating new battery cables
  • Battery Terminals — Connecting new cables to battery posts
