went back to my location, local indy where I bought the battery previously and bought a replacement at a pro-rated price. Saved me about half compared to what they want now for them. Also, bought a Yuasa 1.5A charger to leave connected. Hopefully no more problems...
BTW: question about battery acid and sheet metal. Some time ago the vent tube has disconnected itself from the battery. I had some fluid leak out and onto the floor underneath the battery and the metal clamp that screws in place to hold the battery in place. It had eaten away @ the paint. From what I remember I had vacuumed the paint debris, then tried to clear off any remaining debris with a small steel brush. Don't remember if I used some sort of liquid in final qipe down of the area before I sprayed the area with some sort of flat gray primer and then covered the sections with Dynamat Extreme.
There is a spot on the Dynamat that has a powedery build up on the surface of the Dynamat. Also the metal clamp that is screwed in has some of the gray primer coming off and a orange rust look.
What can I do to tackle this? When I initially did the "repair" I was crunched for time and it was very cold. Hence New England
This has held up for the last 4 or so years
