The reported complaint was confirmed.During the laboratory evaluation, the reported complaint was verified visually.The reported corrosion at the negative terminal was obvious.No corrosion was evident at the positive terminal.The battery fails the minimum conductance requirement; however this is an expected behavior of the battery as it was due for replacement per the two year preventative maintenance.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
