Hey Maverick,

 

I have seen this several times in Lifeline and Sun Xtender, both made by
Concorde, especially when installed on their side. It appears that terminal
corrosion starts just under the case covering the terminal connection inside
the battery. Not much you can do. 

 

The attached picture shows an example of the case splitting open on a
GPL-8DL due to this type of failure.  The battery is 9 years old and still
has 70% capacity.
