[s-cars] Battery post hot

[Fred Munro]

Bob;

Clean the battery post and the inside of the clamp to shiny metal. If the
post still heats up, check the crimp that connects the post clamp to the
wire - it may be loose or corroded. The most likely culprit here is
resistance from corrosion or lead oxides.

S-men,
The positive post on my battery seems to get very hot (you can't keep your
hand on it).  I've just replaced the alternator but believe it was that way
with the old one as well (it melted the plastic cover a bit).  I have tried
a different battery - same result.  Thought the problem would be the battery
but changing it to another didn't make a difference.
Any BTDT?
Appreciative, as always, of any assistance,
Bob in spring is finally here, Edmonton
