Super hot Battery

Put the battery charger on it. Check the voltage before turning it on. If it
is 12 volts, start the charger. If the voltage go's over 15-16 volts the plates
have sulfated. Junk battery. Also possible shorted plates. Be VERY carefull
doing this. Wear leather gloves handling the battery and used eye protection.
When you put the battery on the charger. Keep the cables at full length
from battery to charger when doing this. Set it all up to stand back away
from that bomb, the battery. Be carefull!
