Stu et al,

Perhaps I am missing something here.

Are dry charged batteries not supposed to be activated
with electrolyte ( acid ) before being put into service or
charged ?

Also, Everette mentioned a problem when lying on top of
his battery box cover. On my M151A2 I have put some rubber
terminal covers that some surplus dealers have for sale. Names
of which I cannot think of at this time. But they are out there.

Subject: [MV] Mutt Batteries 6TL

I put 2 new dry charge military batteries in my Mutt last summer. While
Mutt stored for winter they went dead. I put a 12v charger on to one of the
batteries, and with + cable attached to battery, I am getting sparks from
the neg terminal when I put on the cable. Should it be doing that?
