Last of the other 4 batteries with Fake EVE cells.

What I'm seeing is poor fitting of the top and bottom insulator strips, some look really bad because they were covered with rubber poured compound and it leached under the cover strips and the Link bars, real mess.

Again, 4 cells are plastic wrapped together, the only thing between the Battery Positive metal case of each battery is a very thin plastic membrane.

Here is one cell with the positive case exposed, in an off road vehicle and associated vibrating environment, I still worry about a problem a few years down the track, oh and the molding rubber holding the battery in place simply pulls away from the battery and case if battery happens to be mounted on it's side, or gets any heavy bouncing force in the vehicle.

Anyway enough of that, not my problem any more.
