## Discrepancy

BATTERY PACK POSITIVE POST-TO-CELL TAP CONNECTION OVERHEATED AND MELTED PLASTIC COVER OF PACK.  THIS CONNECTION IS SECURED ONLY BY A SMASH-TYPE RIVET (HOLLOW SHOP END) AND IS SUBJECT TO WORKING LOOSE IN SERVICE.  WHEN CONNECTION LOOSENS, A HIGH RESISTANCE CURRENT PATH IS CREATED WHICH WILL AFFECT BATTERY OUTPUT.  RECOMMEND MFG GO BACK TO ORIGINAL DESIGN WHICH INCLUDES A PHENOLIC TYPE COVER AND SCREW/JAM NUT CONFIGURATION.
