Hi EVerybody;
Yup! Best move, on that. Hah HAD the new ganged together caps. If they
leak, they all do, throw them away and get origional caps, individual. from
your battery guy. If yur still getting alot of leaking, maybe the charger is
gassing the cells too much. I have no problem with leakage, but it tapers
off to about 2 amps, when done.
