So I borrowed a friends huge battery that I've been jumping my car with lately because my battery in the car doesn't want to hold a charge over night, but it drives fine once you jump her. Just if she sits over 8 hours she won't start. So every morning I go out and get this battery out and hook up the jumper cables and start it up. Well, my wife strike'd up a conversation with me while I was putting the big car battery away (forgive me for not knowing what the battery is called, it's got a **** of power is all I know lol.) I stuck in behind the car, intending to put it in the trunk and then she got me busy talking for a few minutes. After we finished talking, I got in the car (with the battery still behind me) and started pulling out of our driveway. Well, I ran over it (not with the tire, it just went under the car). I stopped the car and pulled the battery out and it's fine, just a little ding'd up. I took it to a couple of places to check and make sure its charge is fine and it is, but that's irrelevant.
When I backed up I heard it scratching up under the car and it wasn't exactly a pleasant sound. Do you think the battery could of damaged anything under the car? I started it a couple hours later after some errands and the car kind of vibrated for a second when I turned started it, but was fine after a few seconds. I looked under the car where the battery was at, and it looked fine as far as I could tell. I don't know a lot about cars, but I didn't see anything obvious like something hanging out or leaking. Without any pictures, do you think I really need to get it checked out? I checked multiple times after I stopped at places to make sure it wasn't leaking and it wasn't. The battery was about dead center middle of the car when I stopped after I realized what I had done. The car drives normal and you don't hear or feeling anything outside of that vibration for a second or two when you start it.
My logic was that it'll be okay since I feel like that part of the car goes through a lot as far as getting hit by rocks and what not, but I could be wrong.
If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it.
