Are all battery terminals Universal?
the posts on the tops of most auto batteries are actually slightly different sizes to prevent mixups. Why are the positive and negative terminals of car batteries the same size and shape? They aren’t, and have not been for decades. The negative pillar is slightly smaller than the positive.
Can battery terminals be replaced?
If the battery terminals have minor corrosion, just remove them and clean them and the battery posts with a wire brush. But if either or both terminals don’t clamp tight or the corrosion is eating away at the metal, they should be replaced.
Are car battery terminals always on the same side?

What happens if battery fuse is blown?
Usually, a blown fuse just causes a minor car electrical problem, like backup lights or interior lights not working, not being able to use your radio, losing a turn signal, or some of your climate control features not functioning properly. In rare cases, though, a blown fuse can mean that your car won’t start.
What happens when you put the wrong fuse?
Fuses are present to protect the components of the electrical system. Rather than destroying the circuit when there is a surge of power, the fuse blows to protect it. If you use a fuse with the wrong amperage, the fuse won’t blow as intended, damaging the circuit and resulting in a much larger repair bill.
