I have about an inch of exposed cable on what I believe is my positive cable (with ground :) ). In my last 40 point inspection by a saab tech, they recommended I replace the cable. Of course, the cable is 150.00 at the dealer and 94 at eeuropart. It cannot be THAT hard to replace either, so I am planning on doing it myself.
On the same token, the battery had a small burst which I noticed by the corrosion on an aluminum pipe downwards from the battery platform. The corrosion was easily removed and there was no damage. However this battery is going on three years and I like to change items BEFORE they break. We all know that a dead battery is one huge pain in the buttisimo.
Anyway, hopefully someone will chime in with some information regarding which model optima battery is the correct one. I will need to order the Optima battery online as the "wise men" at the auto parts store all around this area are ignorant of what is the correct battery type I should be using. In fact, they go as far as saying that Optima does not make batteries for Saabs. *roll eyes*
