Re: (ET) 30 volts?

I would guess that the bolt was loose. But as someone else said that 
will get you going but you should probably match the batteries as soon 
as possible. Otherwise they will charge at different rates and the pack 
will go weird.

Can you tap a deep bolt into the damaged battery or ask a local battery 
shop to melt on a new post (they should be able to do that, it's lead)
