battery bulge...why? :(


Recommended Posts

ok, so i have 2 XS D5100 batts under the hood in the stock location. i ran a lil power wire for my volt meter in my car the other day and noticed one side of each battery bulging out a little. i've never seen this before, so i dont know how/why it happened :( all searches i've tried point to wet cell batteries. any ideas why? no idea how long they've been like that either. i have an extra one here, but dont wanna put it in if it'll just happen again. and all connections are secured and tight before anyone asks if that may be the cause ;)

what else is kind of weird is that one is 'upside down' compared to the other. so it's like the left side of one battery, and the right side of another one.

are they in a tight space? i have seen them bulge due to being stacked or cramped in a tight spot. another problem i has with a c&d battery was overcharging made it bulge. are you talking about the terminals being reversed when you say upside down?

Why do you guys ALWAYS dispute on NUMBERS?????

It's such a played out argument, so fucking annoying....

It's 12 fuckin 15's.... It's louder than you... Shut the fuck up...

i think he means that he has each battery next to eachother.. however one is backwords facing the other

so its like this:

bat 1 ..... bat 2

| ......+ | |-...... |

|...... .. | | ...... ..|

|...... .. | | ........ |

| ......- | |+........ |

he has + across from the - and - across from the +

sorry for the crappy drawing, doesnt let me use more than 1 space so had to use .'s to space lol

yall are gettin off topic a little much.

one battery is bulgin on the right side, one on the left side.

i would think its something with heat though, which could be caused by chargin too high
