Battery Explodes

[Robert M]

Gotta agree with Bernard- I noticed my gf's TDI was spinning over a little
more slowly than normal a couple weeks ago (CR 19.5:1, baby!) so I popped
the lids off her stock 'Maintenance Free' battery and found all the cells
about half full.  Topped it up, drove it around, good as new.

$0.02,
Robert
