Inside OEM Style Repop Battery

[Daddio]

My OEM style repop battery finally gave up the ghost and, since there was a long lead time on a replacement, I had to get a lead acid instead. Man, is it ugly ... I'm saving my allowance for a 'proper' replacement.

I decided to carefully cut the repop apart just to see what's inside, but still be able to use it as a display. I thought you might like to have a look.

An teeny weeny AGM battery, set sideways, stuck to the bottom of the case with about an inch of epoxy and wired to the external top terminals.

This AGM is about the size of the battery in my lawn tractor!! After seeing this, I'm surprised it was able to spin over 390 cubes for the past 10 years!!
