is it possible for an optima red top to leak acid?

[slapmaster 10+ year member]

sold a guy a red top about a mounth or so ago and now he claims the batt is leaking acid. (mind you optima's are dry cells that have a pasty substance inside).

he also claims that the side posts are dead as well..

he refuses to ship the batt back for exchange or refund apon return ot the batt. and he will not provide proof that side posts are dead.

here is a pick he send me of the batt with a watery substance on it. i've looked inside of an yellow top just after i dropped it and it had no watery substance inside it at all. optima them selves state that the their batt will not leak at all.

you tell me what you think or have experinced.

Tell him to eat a dick. Not sure what companies he has dealt with where the company gives money back before the item is returned.

I cant see it leaking, and having dead posts.. Sounds fishy to me.

How did he pay?

You may end up getting screwed no matter what on this if it was paypal.

i bought a yellow top from a local dealer that had a dead positive side post.

So it happens, but without proof. No way to know.

paypal. but i think he knows that paypal will requir him to return the item first.

he sent me an email tittled "online lawsuit". in it, he basicly explains that he wants a refund for the batt but he is not willing to ship it back because its leaking....

i'll gladly refund him the money if he can proov his issues with the batt..

Ive had one leak, so no that's not bullshit...it's a gooey mess. Which is why i'll never buy another optima bat again.

yes,but do you see wheir it's leaking from in the pic he sent? and it look watery not pasty. and the batt is not cracked or anything.
