Batteries Failing [RE-wrenches]

[Peter Talmage]

Dear Kurt,

A problem could arise if you tilit you truck over too
far as you bounce along the trail. The plates can bend
and get squeezed together. Worse case is broken or
shorted plates, but plates that get squeezed together
have much less electrolyte between and the battery's
performance will be much less than the others.

Yours,  Peter
