Ballen194 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Woo that's a puffed up battery. That looks like an over charge. But damn that's bad.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Give us a call and we can set up a return on the battery. Until we get it in here we can not determine if it is a manufacturing issue (which does happen with anything) or an overcharging issue. For a battery to swell up like that and do it that quickly it sounds like your alt is probably charging higher than 14.4V. I would def check the charge voltage at the alt.

RockFord4lyfe Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 checked the alt, its charging at 14.32 to 14.4... think its because of the heat, the radiator / fan is directly infront the battery (maybe 2 inches separation). Also the engine is a bit bigger than the normal, 1300cc instead of 990cc, so extra heat perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan @ XSpower Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yes, if you have a lot of heat while pushing the battery to its limits that can create swelling. With the heat you are producing it make actually be better for you to relocate the battery to the back of the vehicle if it is possible. You definitely want to use something to block all the heat from the battery if you do leave the battery under the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockFord4lyfe Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 think i would look into getting a new 1 for the front and use the old one in the back, and this time get a holder for the batt. You live and learn. thanks for your help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
