What are non manufacturing defects in a battery?
Non Manufacturing Defects. Physical Damage. If the battery is stored, handled or fitted incorrectly, if the connectors leads are hammered onto terminals, leads are not correctly fastened, the battery will have damage to casing and/or terminals.
Are there any issues with the FLEXVOLT battery?
The batteries work fine in my 20 volt impact drivers and drills. When I tried to use my 4 month old flexvolt worm drive style saw it would not work on any of my flexvolt batteries, nor would other flexvolt tools I tried. My son tested this saw with his 6 ah flexvolt battery and it worked fine.
How can I tell if my battery is a manufacturing fault?
Examination of the battery will typically show low acid level and usually a black coating on filler plugs and a strong smell. It is recommended that the alternator charging voltage is checked by a mechanic. This is not a manufacturing fault.
What happens when battery does not recharge in full?
Additionally if the recharge does not recover the discharge cycle in full, the battery will exhibit loss of performance and concentration of the acid can occur between plates which can lead to corrosion and loss of performance.
What are the symptoms of a bad key fob battery?

What causes a battery to go bad after a long time?
But if the battery has been dry for a long time, it can cause a problem. When the plates in the cells are exposed to oxygen, it rapidly causes sulfation to build up. Sulfation is the number 1 cause of early battery failure. Plus, charging a dry battery will burn it up.
What causes a false voltage reading on a battery?
Under the intense heat of the load, one or more of the weld pieces connecting the cells is coming loose and separating. This will cut the current, and voltage will drop. When the battery cools off, the pieces will touch, barely giving a complete connection. This gives you a false voltage reading.
