    Get hold of it by the shaft using grips (as long as possible they get hot)

    Place the connection end to the + on the battery and it will glow Red.

    In my opinion you need to take them out to check them and I would not fit the old ones back in.

    For the sake of the cost mate buy 4 new ones think its only about 40 pound ish
