OK Folks, after 25 years in the industry, I think I know a little about batteries, maybe. Search my posts to be sure.
We had a battery start leaking at the negative terminal this year, a 2011 battery. It was charged properly, handled properly, etc. Literally out of nowhere it started to leak.
I'll be cutting that one apart* to analyze that failure later this season. For now it is contained properly. More soon.
* I am a trained professional and have cut (literally) thousands of batteries apart in my career. I have seen people injured badly by flying highly-concentrated sulphuric acid and small chunks of lead while doing this. If there ever was a time to hear and obey this, it is now:
Do not try this at home.
