#1 "Rubber" Battery Leak ?

Post by rfs1957 » Mon Dec 10, 2012 2:10 pm

Has anyone had any issues with this type of "period" battery ?

Bought from SC or SNG some time 2007/2008 and no electrical issues, but has developed a big leak from the edge of some of the middle-cells - as if the black "pitch" sealant has either failed or got too hot (exhaust ?) and run away. Difficult to investigate further due to contents !

Any advice regarding a period-looking replacement much appreciated.
