If you have one of these sitting around you can put the magic smoke back in and it will be good as new.

WTF. I’ve never seen that before. I think it’s time for a replacement rather than a check-up.

It’s a first for me too!

I had a new battery at the office on a charger. Swapped it in and no issues. Tested the alternator and everything checked out good.

Have you tried topping up the battery? Or is it maintenance free? If your alternator is solid I’d just get a new one :/ batteries can go bang.

That’s an Optima Gel cell. Whatever went wrong really went wrong.

It didn’t smell all too good either.. I’m going to ask Optima about this as it’s only about 6 months old.
