This is what I hate about not having a place to wrench. Being stranded because of unexpected shit. I removed my car battery and now it wont go back in. Those 4 bits that stick out on the width prevent it from going it. When i put the one side of the battery in, so that it touches the buttom of the plate, the other side sticks out so much, Im not even sure how I would pry it in. All the youtube tutorials dont mention it, they seem to have a differrnt system.
>>28976783You bought a battery that is incompatible with your car model you dumb fucking nigger.
>>2897678390% of the times someone complain like you its them being stupid.can you position the battery in a somewhat safe matter?can you connect it without shorting out everything?then you are good to go.
>>28976787He's trying to out the original battery in seemingly, so just a retard.If it cane out, it'll go back in, this ain't a baby head
>>28976829I didnt manage to put in back in the way it was, I just put it on top, so the battery is now seating on those bits that supposed to hold it in place. I tightened the top bracket very tightly, i got home.I'm gonna look online for a way to put it in correctly, failling that i will saw the bits off
>>28976783are you sure the battery wasn't already sitting on those four ribs? if it wasn't, whoever put the current battery in probably got one too wide for it.
>>28976787learn to fucking read you dumb fuck the battery was already in there before i removed it>>28977421yes, 100% sure, removing it was also somewhat difficult, i had to pull hard. its the dealer who placed it
>>28977442sounds like they're either idiots that gave you the wrong size battery, or didn't have the correct size in stock and used the next closest available one. does the battery still have a sticker with what group it is/dimensions or model on it? As an example, group 24 and group 27 batteries are the same height and depth, but different widths. Former will fit in a tray designed for the latter but not the other way around.
>>28977455Thanks for bearing with me. The confusion seem to come from mazda themselves. There are two part numbers for the battery and when I search for them both, they have two different dimensions. The first one, S80518520A9D, is 306mm long, this is the one that was installed. The second one, GSYUASAS95, is 258 cm long. I'm guessing this one would fit. But regardless of if the installed battery was exactly the correct one or not, the fact still remains that those fuckers managed to put it in correctly and the car worked perfectly fine for years.I would love to learn their trick because rn its fucked up and if the screws were to vibrate off and my battery to shift, that would not be good
>>28977466>if the screws were to vibrate offwhich screws?
>>28977473pic related. I managed to hold the battery down, gave it some good tugs, it doesnt slide. But I imagine the bracket could get looser with vibrations.
>>28977477i think it'll be fine. lots of battery hold-downs are just held down with wing nuts and flat washers.
The real problem here is that "people" have become so conditioned to be completely incompetent that simply REMOVING and RETURNING a fucking car battery to its original position somehow is considered "wrenching". And OP seems to think that if he had some other place to "wrench" that it would somehow improve this situation. (protip: it wont)Shit is unreal.
>>28977981relax nigga
>>28977519Battery hold-downs are unnecessary.Theyre to keep the battery in place during an accident so just dont crash.
>>28977981counterpoint is that enginiggers design everything to be so compact that you need to play fucking tetris to get a battery in and out of the holder.
>>28977987>t. hasn't gone over a bump and shorted the positive terminal to the underside of the hood yet
>>28977396You can clearly see that the ribs of the tray are bent inwards.
