Well, today, I decided to cut the bad post off the battery, just to clean it up and get it out of the way.
Of course, immediately after that the cycle no longer worked!!!!!!
I called the battery company.
The guy on the phone told me that in the Optima, the cells connect INSIDE the post, so by cutting the post, I just wrecked it.
He also told me that there was no way to fix it, and I just ruined my warranty too.
(jerk!)
I drilled a hole through both the melty part and the remains of the post. I tapped both parts and put a 1/4-20 bolt through both. Then I hit it with a torch and a soldering iron.
Works fine now.
