    Is the image actually showing a negative post? The proportions seem narrow and that could be a minus symbol on the plastic.

      I’ve never seen a car battery where negative post is smaller than the positive post. They’re always the same size.

        Curious follow up, did it ever show up? Within the fediverse when you post a picture/post the image is uploaded to whatever instance hosts that community. In this case sopuli.xyz. Then the post flows out to all the other federated instances when it is accessed from how I understand it. So I am curious if maybe it was federating properly to say .world or dbzer0 but didn’t come though yet to your instance that you were viewing from on your client, beehaw. (In which I hope it did a little while later)

          I appreciate the reply, but it never did. It happens with a few things, specifically some images. It redirects to a separate page when I click on it.

            Darn, maybe keep a mental note which instancea the photos aren’t federating from, or check to see if they show via the website to see if it is an issue with your app vs it being the federation

                I doubt the browser would be it, but you can always copy/paste the link into another browser to double check that really quick. I was thinking it may have been the client(phone app), but you aren’t using one… If you come across another beehaw user maybe you can check with them if they can see a preview you can’t.

                I’m very much a compartmentalize issues and see where it may be broken. If you see it from your phone and not your laptop, then it can’t be a beehaw issue. If it works for another beehaw users, then it likely is an issue with the way you view it.

    I have never in my life seen such a clean battery connector. This made my day better.

        I’m not an expert either but have been trying to learn about my cars always to do as much as possible myself (to save money). Has helped that my cars have always been “older” models so they have been significantly easier to take care of myself. I don’t dare to touch newer cars’ insides.

        But, to the question: often it’s both + all the dirt and crap that gets in there.

        It’s not really a problem though until you need to change your battery or have to give it a jump start :)

          Changing a battery is a hassle, but thankfully there are how to videos. And you’re right it saves a lot of money. Newer cars, like phones would be intimidating to work on. I’m trying to do research into a solar battery system, but that’s even more of a project.

            Loove how-to creators! I’ve fixed so many things thanks to people who create that kinda content.

            And wow that sounds like an interesting and big project. Wish you luck on that project and hope you also get to have some fun with it.
