Hello, and thank you for accepting me into your group. I have been trying to start my box Seven, a 1933 RP. Battery was flat, charged it, would hardly turn her over. Tested at 5.9v. charged it again, all the red lights came on the charger, and wouldn't fully charge, (4amp charger). Took the top off, and the plates are swollen and buckled. Its an Exide, 8 or 9 months old. The old one also has buckled plates, again 5,9v. on my dynamo, D and F are linked, which may not be the cause. Can anyone please give me a clue where to start, before I cripple another battery
