Hey guys, Absolutly a perfect day today and I am sitting her typing. Tried to start N357CJ and the battery was dead, I thought that I had left a gps on or something so I just stuck the charger to it for 20 min. and triedd to crank it and she barly turned over. The battery was new in March but I thought I better take a closer look. When I looked at the battery I could see it was bulged out on 3 sides and when I got it out it actually had a blow out hole in the middle of a verticle corner on the groung end. I took it back to the battery warehouse nad they thought heat but couldn't be sure. They also said they were going to keep it as an example. I bought a new battery of a larger cranking amp size that they did not have before. I am gooing to check ground and power connections again and I may change the voltage regulator. I have the JD alt. and regulator.There has been no sign of over voltage as 14.1 is the highest I have seen and mostly 13.8 to 14.1. No popped breakers and cowl temps and engine temps have not gone where it should have affected a battery. Leave it to me to find new ways to not be able to fly.
