Went out to eat with friends and when I went to leave it took me 5 cranks to start my car. Got it started drove home and when i went to pull the car in the garage I noticed some smoke and a burning smell, so I popped the hood shut the car off and my positive battery terminal was smoking and it was super hot :shrug:
