Reply To: Why did my battery explode ???

Yes I changed it for a sold state one – I think I have a couple of the old ones – do you need these?

Looking at the wiring again it was the heavy lead from the battery to the regulator that was hot and the regulator was hot. So must have been drawing a big current over the week it was left on – perhaps a short in the regulator. I have left on connected before for periods with no trouble.

Cheers
