Battery Terminals Heat Up While Being Used. Normal ba?

[X-isle]

guys any insights on this?

scenario is, mainit ang terminals ng sasakyan habang ginagamit. Both positive and negative. Minsan, pag first use for the day naman hirap magstart as in "click" sound lang ang maririnig mo even though mahigpit naman ang terminals.

So minsan hassle kasi I would need to re-fit the battery terminals just to make sure na magsstart, then magsstart naman siya after refitting. then pag pinatay mo ng matagalan like for about 2 or more hours "click" sound again pag inistart. So same process. refit terminals then magsstart na siya...

So 2 problems here:

1. Habang ginagamit yung sasakyan mainit yung terminals both positive and negative. Yung tipong mapapaso ka if you touch it for around 5 seconds.

2. "click" sound when starting, which results into refitting of terminals para lang magstart ng maayos.

My battery is Electron 2sm bought last December 2010 so 8 months na yung battery.

Any insights mga kaibigan? Do you think kailangan ko palitan ang battery ko??

The terminals getting hot is a sign of not enough contact at the terminals. The terminal connectors may be corroded. Clean with a wire brush or replace if needed.

The terminals might be loose as well. Ok ba voltage mo?

linis terminal tapos sikipan mo lang yung konektors.

thanks for the input guys. the state of my terminals are well. Walang corrosion, lahat masikip. also the terminals are newly replaced too.

I Think the culprit here is the battery... I just started doiing those things you recommended guys right after I read the replies.. Now even the automatic door locks can't be manipulated, maririnig mo na naglolock pero nahihirapan. also while locking the door manonotice yung paghina ng ilaw sa loob, the digital clock makikita din nag-fafade.

Do you think its the battery na? Gusto ko din sana icheck yung voltage like what ry_tower said, kaso wala akong pangtest ng voltage.

The battery shop should have a tester. Just bring it there to find out where the problem located. If it's not the terminal, it might be the battery terminal posts.

Sir, you can buy digital multitesters from CDR King for below 200php.

Sir X-isle, I assume na bumababa din ang rpm mo everytime you open up your headlights, right? My problem is...nagda-drop rpm ko from 900 to 700 pag naka-on ang HL.
Im also having almost the same issue, pero ang sakin ay negative terminal ng battery at un wire lang ang umiinit...the positive side is not...my battery is exactly a year old this month, motolite enduro 2SM.

Pinacheck ko na ang battery at alternator ko in a motolite shop nearby at kumakarga naman ng maayos pareho at walang nakitang problema with those 2.

Hinde ko pa din kasi napapatroubleshoot ng husto un auto since wala pang makitang trusted at reliable electrician sa bago namin nalipatang lugar. TIA

Grounding mo at wire na ang dapat i-check kung ganyan na ok pa alternator at battery mo IMO.
