As far as the batteries made in India go, I have been using them in my 48 Chief and 40-4 for many years. What I do to help reduce, not cure, the leaking issue is before adding any acid I use clear 5 minute epoxy where the posts come out of the body. Seal them neatly and let that harden overnight and then fill to proper level with acid. Charge them up and I usually will get anywhere from 3-5 years out of them. After a ride I always unplug them as I use a slide plug on the wire. If anyone has any that have never had acid in them, I would be interested in purchasing them.

They'd be a lot cheaper to pick up at Davenport!

I've a dead Dixie waiting to be butchered; The ebonite case is actually flexible, so I must build a wooden support case before I attempt to mill it out.
Unless there's a better way... .. . .
