the better question would be why in the hell you tried changing a battery while the car was running?

Chances are you blew more fuses then you can shake a stick at. including the 80Amp fuse that is like $10 just for one fuse, you are lucky if you didn't kill your ECU from the surge of power too

You shouldn't be screwin' around with car batteries like this. You're lucky if a fuse was blown.
