So I bought Joes ( 70gtx440dana ) dead battery.
The thing that got my interest was that the caps were not glued on!
Joe also told me that when he removed the caps it looked red inside?
My thinking was maybe it's a battery in a battery?
So today I started working on this battery shown in my fist picture.
My second picture shows the battery with the caps removed.
I also saw the red down inside there?
I found a seam where the battery was put together.
I started tapping it along this seam and it finally popped open!
I have it shown in my third picture.
The battery case had cracked where the top was glued on.
But it was low enough not to show when reassembled.
Now we can see what the red was from!
Two small batteries wired together and then to the terminals.
I couldn't get the batteries loose so I had to cut the bottom out.
I show the batteries out in my last picture.
To be continued!
