Re: (ET) battery repair

       Hot melt glue is on method that I have seen used in battery shops,
since there isn't much that will stick to polyethylene/ polypropylene and
what ever other wonders of chemistry that battery cases are molded from
these days.
      My main concern would be if there is a mechanical issue that started
this.If the terminal is moving, that's not good for the plate hanger that 
is
attached to it.
    Open circuits inside a battery under load or under charge tend to go
kaboom, then catch fire.
