Went to go for a ride this am and M2 only clicked as I punched the starter.
Started checking and found that my 4 month old battery [from Batteries Plus] had popped the filler caps on the two out-most cells.

I put my old Yuasa in, went for a spin. No problems.

I then took my "new" battery back to the Batteries Plus dealer.

I did not know that the battery was "dry" as the dealer put it [something about fiberglass mats that soak up water]

Battery was tested and had 12.1 volts. I brought it home and put it on the trickle charger.

I am wondering if my charging system is over charging. Why else would the caps have popped?
