Re: First: 2008 Batteries are D-Y-I-N-G.
so were all in the shop the other day with the batteries on the chargers i leaned back on the table and burned my arm (not really bad, but it left a mark) i quickly turned around to notice that one whole cell of the battery had bulged out and the battery had gotten up to 165 degrees and was leaking out the top


For all those who are thinking this the battery was fully dead when we put it on and hadn't been on the charger for 2 long before this happened
