G'day Fuckwit,

Did I really?  I said:

At which you responded with:

Then elsewhere you decide to agree with me.....

But wait... there's more....

And even more....

 RG>> - if it does it can only be due to one thing - the

 RS> Yes, it usually has.



Not a bad effort Spood...  in one comment you disagree with me and

tell me I fucked up, then in THREE other places you're fucking

agreeing with me...    What a wanker.



 RS> BUT, now wait for it, THAT CONTACT THAT GETS HOT CLEARLY WAS ADEQUATE

Fuckwit, did I say different?  No...  this is simply a matter of you

trying to cover your own contractictions...  a typical Rod Speed ploy.

It fools no-one other than yourself.



 RS> in a battery connection that isnt actually of high enough resistance

 RS> to actually be the cause of his problem, let alone being the cause

 RS> of the battery not being charged as Tewwy was claiming.



Fuckwit, I couldn't give a shit what Tewwy was claiming. I made no

comment about his claims at all, nor did I make any comments about

charging the battery.  This is just another RS ploy to divert the

subject so you don't look like such a fuckwit.



 RS>> may well not have a damned thing to do with the fact that the

 RS>> battery was flat.



 RG>> I wasn't talking about flat batteries,



 RS> Pity that thread was Gaston.



Fuckwit, that may have been the thread, but of this thread I responded

to just one particular aspect and question from it.. namely..



 PE>> Can you tell this from the fact that it's hot?



Again, another RS ploy to save face regarding your contradictions.



 RG>> With a perfectly clean terminal, with a good contact, the contact

 RG>> itself would have roughly equal resistance as the earth wire

 RG>> itself -



 RS> Mindless drivel on the equal, soorree.



Perhaps you would care to give me some typical figures for the

resistance of the wire in relation to the resistance of the terminal

contact itself...  Nah, of course you wouldn't, it'll make you look

like a bigger fuckit than you already do, wouldn't it.



 RG>> nor was I discussing the resistance of one terminal compared to

 RG>> the other.



 RS> Doesnt actually matter a stuff if you were or were not Gaston.



So we can forget all about Ohms law and start using Speeds law

instead shall we?



 RS> Pity you dont actually have enough viable between your ears to

 RS> actually apply Ohms Law to anything but the simplest situations.



Pity you don't even appear to know what Ohm's law is.



 RS>> That may well just have been a long time at the massive currents

 RS>> seen when the starter motor is cranking the engine, with it not

 RS>> starting.



 RG>> In which case, the entire wire/cable to the

 RG>> starter motor would get hot, not just the terminal.



 RS> Fraid not.



Fraid so.   Ohms law ... not Speeds law.
