Exclamation Smashed Battery Terminals

how can smashed battery terminals (essentially where somebody decided to use a hammer to put the connectors back on the battery) effect the performance of your car?

Attach them when you reply.

If you're not having charging problems, it's probably fine. The charging system only affects engine performance if it's not putting out enough voltage for the ECU, sensors, fuel pump, etc...

You can always crimp on new terminals or run new cables.
