So my car did not start and it seems like my battery is shot, so i decided to take out to charge it. I Removed every cover, bolt etc but forgot to remove the fastener at the bottom, so when i yanked the battery out i heard as it made it to the bottom of the engine. I cannot find it after looking extensively, so im going to have to order a new. Meanwhile, is it dangerous to drive without one? I do not want to risk the battery to jump up and down and end up damaging something… lol

    VERY dangerous because the battery isn’t bolted down. Any speed bump, fast stop, or wide turn and the battery is going to move, sway, or touch against something it shouldn’t and spark. That spark could potentially cause a fire; the battery could also hit the hood when you hit a bump and spark.
