    So im fixing this battery for a guy and he said he had a leaky module and even brought a replacement for it. After disassembling, Im curious if two modules are leaking or just one. And from where exactly?....
    how do i post pics in this thing

    these modules were next to each other and frankly I’ve never seen a pack in worse shape (guy said he charged them with cargo straps instead of compression bars)

    If I had to guess, it would be the one with the larger spot that is leaking. But I personally would replace both of them.

    Development: I guess there’s like a clear coating that can be peeled back so I’m leaning towards both leaking?

    My thoughts as well. Perhaps the liquid that leaks is corrosive ?
