I do have an interstate 48 in the roadster...these aren't daily drivers and the cold did take it's toll in the shurikyns...
Yours succumbed to the cold; mine succumbed to the heat....... I think. Maybe my tender faulted and overcharged it? Not sure. What do you guys think? I removed it a couple of weeks ago to do some other work and discovered this. Here are a couple of pic.'s of it. Sorry for the crappy shots, but what it's showing is significant bulging on both sides of the long walls. It's been on the shelf for this couple of weeks and still has a full charge, but I'm afraid of it now. I'll be wrapping the next batt. in a heat reflecting material kit I got from DEI.
