[RE-wrenches] Concorde AGMs

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar Power Systems]

I have not seen anything that excessive. The picture I sent is as bad as I have seen. BTW, it was mounted horizontal. 

If this is only happening to one battery in a bank, measure the current into that battery and compare with others. High current to one in a group may indicate a failed battery. Thermal runaway could be next.

FYI,

I am talking about a sealed AGM battery leaking acid and corroding terminals, especially from the negative post, in either a vertical or horizontal arrangement. When mounted in the horizontal, acid leaks out onto to shelf surface. Not much, mind you, but enough to corrode terminals and make a mess... For an AGM battery, I think too much.


Thank you,

Maverick
