O'Reilly's and Napa carry fusible links as well as dealers..
I am 99% sure the Optima is good. I charged it overnight using a 6 amp charger. The first four hours showed a 4 amp rate and the when I checked it this morning, the needle was at zero amps. Voltage is now stable at 12.82V.
Won't be putting it back in the car until I find the short.
check it in a few hours.. if it holds at 12.6 or so, and don't drop in a day.. I'd say it dodged a bullet..
I threw the battery in a snow bank and left it for a couple days. I had to chisel an inch of ice to get at the terminals today and it's holding at 12.62 V.
