Another Bird fire

Checked mine and one of the negative cables was stretched tigh t enough that the screw head on the positive clamp had vibrated through the plastic sheath. Wouldn't take much more to dead short across that battery!

Sorry to hear of the loss of anyones coach. I warned the forum after mine to check these cables and apparently it just went right by everyone. What a shame. I sure hope everyone gets out there and checks these cables now.
