So my car did not start and it seems like my battery is shot, so i decided to take out to charge it. I Removed every cover, bolt etc but forgot to remove the fastener at the bottom, so when i yanked the battery out i heard as it made it to the bottom of the engine. I cannot find it after looking extensively, so im going to have to order a new. Meanwhile, is it dangerous to drive without one? I do not want to risk the battery to jump up and down and end up damaging something… lol
A typical car battery weighs approximately 35 lbs. Imagine the damage a rolling 35 lb object can do to your engine compartment… when it gets launched due to a sudden evasive maneuver to avoid an idiot on the road.
