This morning i was charging my turbo s2000, and i fergot about it while watching tv. during a commercial i looked at my desk and saw my car still plugged in. I grabbed it and the chassis felt warm, but not the second battery. I took out the battery, and the green cover cracked and came off.

My car wont run on its own, but if its plugged to the charger it runs. My question is did i fry both batteries? or just the original one? The outer battery wasnt hot, but teh internal one was.

Is your car modded? Like with a direct connection to the battery to bypass the auto timing shut-off.... Cuz if u did, then most likely, you may have damaged the batt.....

try putting your second battery in the first batteries spot and close teh circuit that leads to and come off of where the second battery used to be. if it doesnt work, then you most likely fried both of them.

alright folks heres what ive got to say. Umm ill try what data monster said. I think itll work, or at least tell me what i need to know.

Wedginator, i have a stand alone charger, and i fergot that i was charging it.

The chassis got bent out of place a tad bit, but not enough to mess it up. Just to notice.

The car with turbo, was 35mhz. My car can run without a charger now, but it can only go in reverse. Im going to see what happens if i replace the second battery, with one from my friends old broken car. I think i fried both.

the internal battery i used for my turbo car, makes my other 35mhz car go in reverse when its connected to a charger.

Im guessing i fried the batteries. Im probably gonna buy some later on from qfm tonight along with some posts and pylons.
