Should I get a new CAS?

Well, my car hasnt been running well at all as of late, one of the problems might be my CAS.

My battery kept falling out of the tray, and into the motor, causing alot of damage. It only had to happen about 5 times before I realized that my battery tray was broken. Anyhow, When I was replacing my terminals, I looked at my CAS, and noticed it looks fucked.

Let me know if you guys thinks I should get a new one.



The old terminals

The cas looks undamaged. Replace the bolt, the rest of it is the front cover.

p.s. check the resistances of the CAS to find out if you need to replace it
