So my car did not start and it seems like my battery is shot, so i decided to take out to charge it. I Removed every cover, bolt etc but forgot to remove the fastener at the bottom, so when i yanked the battery out i heard as it made it to the bottom of the engine. I cannot find it after looking extensively, so im going to have to order a new. Meanwhile, is it dangerous to drive without one? I do not want to risk the battery to jump up and down and end up damaging something… lol

    Have you ever heard of any type of incident from a loose car battery? The only way it could cause any type of damage is if you were in a roll over and the battery was laying on one solid piece of metal.

    Not good. The battery can flip over spilling acid or breaking things or the battery (+) post can touch metal parts and arc causing a fire.

    Tie it down with bungee cords or rope before you drive.

    Realistically. It doesn’t matter… You’re battery will not jump out of your hood and dance around.
