Sigh.. crack in the AGM battary case - toast?
Continuing on my quest of adding more capacity to the TC, I ordered two AGM batteries. One arrived a dud. After much discussion with the seller they sent me a replacement.
The new one checked out ok, so I let it be until I was ready to start installing them - here in PNW you don't get too many dry days this time of the year.
Finally, I hauled it out of the garage only to realize there's an indented crack in one of the upper corners of the battery - right under the lid. Don't know how did I not notice it right away, but I didn't. It's been two weeks since it was delivered, so not sure if the seller is going to be receptive to my complaints. Contacted them anyway, of course, but trying to figure out the worst case scenario.
Here's the photo of the crack:
Hopefully, they send me replacement, but if not:
Is this toast? Do I use it as is (if I have to)? Try patching it up?
Thanks,
