Today's batteries are made of more durable plastics where this cannot happen. Cheers |

Take it to a Century dealer (any one will do) and have them run it on the Century tester and get the results printed out. If you can convince the battery to have 12V without it being a surface charge (as in off the charger for a bit, and settles into 12V or more and stays there) then you'll get the battery replaced. And if the dealer won't do it, find another one. Handing in a Century battery that fails the test but still has 'right' voltage and is within warranty, Century just swap them over without any fuss and it costs the dealer nothing but a little time that also earns them goodwill. Go on, ask me how I know. ;) However, if it's died because it's not getting charged adequately, then you might be in for some trouble. Comes under neglect and they may refuse the warranty claim. Not common, but can happen. I'll try and get it over the line if it's an honest claim, but I'll bounce it up the food chain if you try and pull a swifty. You may still get a new battery, but you might not too. I'd hit up whichever Century dealer you have nearby and see what happens. If you can't find one who's willing to help you out, call Century direct. They're usually pretty good about this kind of thing. Stu. |

The argument about sitting a battery on concrete comes from the fact that the bottom of the battery will be a lot colder than the top of the battery. This inhibits the circulation of the Electrolyte within the battery.
