Gary,
When I installed my Hindle, I removed the plastic shield thing. I have
since not had any problems with the battery case warping or melting. In
your situation I suspect that the plastic shield allowed some of the heat
to build up (poor air circulation) and cause damage to the battery case.
Just a guess on my part since I have not had any issues and have been
running the pipe for two years now.
