Thanks for your responses.
Should I have any problem starting the car with my Prestone jumper
battery,
which has never failed before (even when prior batteries were completely
drained)? As I said, I just noticed that the clamp was off this
afternoon,
and I hadn't driven the car in a day and a half. At the very least, I'd
like to drive the car back to the service station and let them fix or
replace
the clamp at no charge
If I pull off the loose positive clamp, should I take off the negative one
too, before I use a wrench to tighten the clamp nut?
I read another post here stating that the negative post of the battery
controls the rest of the car (alarm, lights, etc.). If that's true, can
this
battery recharge itself or will I need to replace the battery?
