Correct. The only way a wet cell will spit acid is either:Motor Head wrote: With the wet battery causing your corrosion. Make sure your charging system is not Overcharging/ boiling the battery etc. The new battery won't care for it much if it is.
1) it was overfilled
2) It was overcharged
And the word "sealed" is a bit of an illusion: all rechargeable batteries I know of have vents that open when they are overcharged (which builds up pressure inside). Without said vents they would blow up like an IED. Some sealed lead-acid batteries have a gelled electrolyte as opposed to liquid and they can be mounted at any angle. HOWEVER: many so-called "sealed" batteries have liquid electrolyte and cannot.

Don't know but it's really easy to test: rev engine to about 3K and measure battery voltage: should be 14V +/- 0.5V. Higher than that and the reg is not working.4TheKZ1000 wrote: ok, I did purchase a combo unit rect / reg from Z1-E. Have these caused any probs that we know about....?

I just checked the battery charge. It came out at 13.7 volts ....I set the multimeter at VDC-20 and put the black led on the neg batt post and red on the poss post....rev the bike to 3000 rpm and took the reading....really dont think its the regulator...thats well within the range....?
