bolt stuck in battery

If you have a MIG welder, and feel confident enough, create a little weld pool in the center of the broken bolt, then "build up" the weld pool, until you have a nice tall weld. Grab with a vice grip and try turning. Regardless of how you get the bolt out, I'd still run a tap through it to clean up the threads so you don't crossthread the new one.

This method will work, but need balls of steel. Batteries do release gases that are highly flammable. But if ya like me, have big old balls of steel and clinically insane, then yes this will work to...lol. I just wasnt gonna suggest it...lol!
