Note; once the car is running there is very little current going back to the battery, the alternator is suplying the power to run the car through the remains of the broken battery terminal even if it has come off the battery. It's not good for the alternator to be disconnected from thew battery while the car is running but it will still continue to run even if it does disconnect.
Thanks for that Doug. I have jumper leads (I bought them today when I bought the battery lol) I will try this if Mao doesn't have the right size terminal clamp.
