Since we have had a few hard frosts now - I decided I had better removed my bike batteries from the garage and bring them indoors for the winter.
When I took the battery I had only bought in May this year out of my 900SS the sides and base were SERIOUSLY deformed.
The casing is intact and (thank goodness) it is a fully sealed unit so there are no spillages but there is no way this can go back on the bike again.
Next question of course is what caused the problem.....I hope its a manufacturing defect but I have an awful feeling its related to the Sprag clutch faulty symptoms my bike has been suffering this year (could this account for a high current being pulled and heat distorting the battery ???)
Piccies dont show it too well - but it is very buckled
I'll be contacting the supplier but, ideas please ???????
