bad bad battery manu [RE-wrenches]

[Windy Dankoff, Dankoff Solar]

<x-flowed>
It is common for positive posts to bulge in batteries that have been 
overdischarged many times, or maintained in a very low state of 
charge for long periods. The cause is swelling of the positive 
plates. (They swell out laterally as well.)

Normally, the battery is designed to accommodate this phenomenon to 
the point where the battery becomes useless, without danger of 
breaking the case.
