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

    It might be a bit dangerous, depending on how far the battery can move. On many cars, there’s a other things in the way that will stop it from getting very far. However, it isn’t good for the battery to be rattling around, and if it pulls on the battery cables and that causes connection issues all sorts of weird stuff will start to happen, possibly at a very inconvenient time.
