right lads and lassies.
what causes my battery to get a corrosive buildup on the battery platform.
I cannot see any places where there could be a short .no cracks in the battery casing etc
the battery is of the type that has no top cover so the filler caps are open to the outside.
would it be that the battery is venting a mist through the caps and making a circuit enough to cause this problem.
it is only a 6v system and is using a lucas regulator,not a fantastic charge but as I don,t do a lot of night time riding its enough.
next time I unwrap it I will take a photo..
This is a recent problem old style batteries never done this do I need to seal it off from the outside air.
it does not have a breather tube fitting on this battery.Its been on the bike a few years now.
