Every time I've had his problem, I eventually found a bad crimp on the little balance cables.

There was a bit of a language barrier, so it's possible things got garbled in the conversation.

Good questions. They said they got three turns in when they retapped. I may use thread locking glue like you suggest on the stud. I would be interested in someone spot welding everything, but this machine shop didn't have that ability. I didn't contact Eve because I didn't think they would...

I believe they drilled it out with a drill press to open the hole. They said they were going to use the CNC for cutting the threads. I'm not sure how a CNC would help with that.

I took it to a local machine shop. They got the threaded rod out and retapped a few threads inside the hole. I've attached a few pictures for reference.

Good point. The place I had heard about is out of 304Ah batteries. Looks like I need to find a machinist in the Houston area.

These are 304s

That is my fall back. I believe I can get another cell locally, so my shipping time won't be so bad.

I actually have a torque wrench, I was just ignoring what it was telling me because it didn't feel like the nut was near the bottom of the post. I didn't really feel like I was putting much force on it when it broke, but it had clicked. Expensive learning opportunity.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm in the Houston area.

I notice you are in Texas. What area are you in? I'm in the Houston area.

Magnet does stick to it.

Here is a side view. The stud is not loose. I have tried grabbing it with plyers and turning counter clockwise and there was no movement.

Not yet. I'll try that.

So, I used too much torque on one of my welded studs on my Eve batteries. It broke off near the bottom. I've attached a picture. How do I fix this? Do I drill out the stud and tap a new larger thread in the terminal? I don't have much experience tapping threads. Would I be better off just buying...
