1997 yamaha waverunner 1100
What causes a jetski battery terminal to melt?
I took my 1997 Yamaha 1100 waverunner out for a spin and after about 200 or 300 yds it cut out. The positive battery terminal post had melted. Literally, the metal post melted into the plastic casing and dripped liquifiied metal on the boat bottom. What could cause this?
First off, sorry to hear about a 300 yd day at the lake; Very not cool!!
Glad the molten metal didn't breach the hull either!
Ideas on how it happened:
A loose battery connection creates resistance, and in turn heat. If the connection is loose, the wires small, and the load high, you could see this happen but inside 200 yards?!? Not likely. However a battery connection that is not consistent, bouncing around while you ski, sparks as it bounces. Those sparks are creating the same heat as an arc welder would. Continue this practice long enough, melted things happen nearby.
The other thing that could have happened is a short inside the battery. An elder battery, comprised of plates in close proximity, can easily short out under vibrating conditions. This condition results in a high heat source inside the battery, sometimes melting the case. If the wires are tight, a vibration, along with the wire pulling on the bolt, can short out the plates inside. To avoid this, make sure your wires have slack in them so they can move!
Either way, your battery is shot, and maybe the wires too.
To fix it you need a new battery, and to inspect the wire.
If you have damage, replace those wires too.
