Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 Battery position

[pbennett (pbennett]

The important thing is ...

        insure the NEGATIVE battery post connects to the wheel side

        (left) cable which has the GROUND (storage)( removal)  connector.

 

        If your battery cover is missing, obtain a 1 sq ft piece of formica

        from your flooring dealer.  Use cardboard to make a template then cut.

        Never use metal for the cover.

The battery is connected correctly, but the position is wrong. I took the picture to the store where I bought it, they checked what I have and what the computer says it takes which is what I have. They will replace it with what I need.

 

Thanks

I have a Dumb question question. I bought a 1981 308 GTSi in 2005, replaced with the same interstate battery in 2007.

The dumb question is coming.

I ordered a Duracell with the correct post position and replaced it Sunday.

But now I can't remember the correct placement of the battery.

The short cable with the red band will only reach + post with the battery in the car with the posts toward the front of the car.

the other cable will reach any where.

With the cable connected the clock runs correctly.

But the battery cover will be CLOSE to the POSTS with batter in this position.

I have not tried to start or even put the key for fear I would fry the electronics.

any Advice
