Ugh. Back checking what remains of the lead, you are correct. Also it is not simply one large strand of braided copper wire, there is at least one smaller power lead that terminates at this junction. Thanks for highlighting that.

Gah again. Oh well, I earned this one all by myself no sense :censored: about it.

Can NTB be trusted for work like this or do I need to find a more capable local shop?

Edit...

Welp now that I've found the related parts diagram:


Looks like all I need is a new "battery cable" (5) and "positive terminal" (7). Sum total about $60 online.

How difficult might this work be for one person though?
