| Hey Maverick, I have seen this several times in Lifeline and Sun Xtender, both made by Concorde, especially when installed on their side. It appears that terminal corrosion starts just under the case covering the terminal connection inside the battery. Not much you can do. The attached picture shows an example of the case splitting open on a GPL-8DL due to this type of failure. The battery is 9 years old and still has 70% capacity.
