Is there a secondary wire to the positive battery?
Is there a secondary wire to the positive battery?
I have had this happen before, so I got out and took a look at the battery. In addition to the larger 8ga wire leading from the positive battery terminal, there is a secondary wire, maybe 16ga, with a fuse connected to it. I found that the end of the wire had turned turquoise with the copper corroding, until the wire was no more.

Is it possible to corrosion a battery wire?
Just have to adjust our thinking a bit and pay close attention to detail. The major pitfall to this method is, as has been mentioned, corrosion of the wiring is more of a possibility due to the proximity of that feed wire to the battery fumes.
Can a battery be charged through a fusable wire?
Note too that some manufacturers of the fusable links will have a small tab molded onto the wire covering to make it easily identifiable and will have a different “feel” than normal wiring. Keep in mind too, that the battery is charged back through that wire/fusable link. (You must log in or sign up to reply here.)

Where is the second cable on a battery?
The second cable, the negative or ground cable, should be connected to the negative terminal on the main battery. The cables should not run through an area where there is the possibility the wire may be damaged.
Where are the positive and negative battery cables?
Think of these cables as the large rivers that carry the water from the reservoir into a city’s water main system. The negative cable is normally black, and the positive cable is normally red. The positive cable, normally red, divides into two very large sections. One section goes to the engine and under hood area.
