What was found

BATTERY PACK COVER MELTED AROUND TERMINAL POSTS. THIS CONDITION CAUSED BY LOOSE/HIGH RESISTANCE CONNECTION BETWEEN TERMINAL POSTS AND CELL TABS. SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS MANUFACTURER USE THICKER MATERIAL FOR COVER PERHAPS OF A PHENOLIC AS THEY USED TO DO IN PREVIOUS YEARS. EARLIER PACKS ALSO INCORPORATED A SCREW AND JAM NUT CONFIGURATION TO MAINTAIN A SECURE CONNECTION.
