| Oct 26, 2020 at 19:12 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | Before you replace them, just ensure everything is clean and there's a good connection. Also ensure there's no bulging in the cable, which would indicate corrosion within the cable itself (this would mean replacement). If you can get away with cleaning, why replace? | |
| Oct 26, 2020 at 18:06 | comment | added | Seth | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 that's what I'm leaning toward, too. I'm looking at replacing some of them, but they're pretty elaborate on the JX35. I'll post a follow-up if I'm successful. | |

How well did you clean your battery clamps at the terminals when you put the new battery in? Have you checked to see that they are secured tightly? | |
