Larry,
How old was that AGM? The Optima line has pretty good full replacement
warranties.

Your rectal thermometer will be a good way to tell when your fancy,
expensive AGM battery goes to its death. When Batteries Plus pointed
their
thermal imager at mine, today, in my stepvan, it read 170F! The other AGM
in parallel with it was only 94F in the hot engine compartment. The bad
AGM killed the good AGM over the weekend. I think the good AGM is going
to
survive, at least until I get feeling better about replacing the bad AGM
for $90 (with $35 rebate on the bad AGM).

I guess I should feel relieved it just bulged all out instead of exploding
in my engine compartment in a big, acid mess.....(sigh)....
