D2400 ends slightly swollen

[95 south]

I was wondering if my D2400 under the hood needs to be replaced since both ends are starting to become swollen? Maybe the swelling is from the engine bay heat.

Depends on what is going on. Out of the box they have a little bow to them on the ends.

If you have checked the charge voltage and made sure you are charging to high, then you may want to put a part # 500 on there. Just a heat shield that goes around the battery to help deflect the heat. You can get regular heat shields at any auto parts store also if you have one close to you.

Either it was over charged on a charger (that doesn't know how to shut itself off) or it was exposed to too much heat.

two ways to avoid this. Don't overcharge and make sure to use a heat shield.

XS Power sells them and they work very well. They are cheap too.

Thanks guys. It still works fine was just a little worried.
