I got called to change out a set of batteries in a Fiat Allis wheel loader on Friday. In a bit of a hurry and not paying close attention I replaced both and went to fire it up. Nothing, not a peep. So after spending far to much time looking the system over I found that one negative battery cable end had been replaced with a positive cable end, they even put red shrink tubing on it. When I hooked it up I just looked at the N stamped on the cable end. Morals of the story, when you replace cable ends please install the correct ones, don't get in a hurry and no matter how many times you replace batteries, pay attention to your work. Never to old to still make mistakes.
