    It is very odd Phil. It's a fine hairline crack that bleeds acid when I press it in. No bulging.
    The battery was definitely not loose or overtight. It had a rubber mat/padding under it and under the top clamp, and wasn't overtight or anything. It's got me stumped.

    Under good light, the corner sides nearest to turbo/exhaust are more discolored than the rest of the battery. I will only speculate, heat may have had something to do with this. Who knows. Regardless, battery is stuffed.

    Check the Part # with Full River site.
    They make a LOT of different batteries, vehicle, standby, UPS etc and many are not rated for high temps or high charging rates.

    If it is suitable for "vehicle under bonnet" use then I have found Full River very good to deal with in the past albeit that was with UPS batteries

    This is the one I had ET.

    Max temp range is
    -40°C to 71°C.
    I dare imagine that near the turbo/exhaust the temps would be well in excess of that.
    However the battery has been there for more than 2 years and it never suffered any performance loss, until last week or so when I noticed the Varying volts.

    AGM under bonnet, not recommended I believe./ Max temp on battery 71 degC - bet it gets hotter than that. I thi9nk you need a multi layer heat shield and a wet cell if you are going to persist with that location, plus keep a close eye on the liquid level.

    Yes most companies won’t warrant an AGM under the bonnet, especially in a Patrol. Don’t get me wrong because there are some AGM designed that can go under bonnet but as we all know the Patrol is one of the hotter engine bays which is why we read so many threads on people trying to find ways to remove the heat such as extra bonnet scoops etc.

    But I too are guilty of having an AGM under the bonnet

    Guilty as AGM charged also, pardon the pun! Have got another overpriced, yet happy we are, Optima Yellow Top, turbo side on Mrs MB’s TD42T. Have witnessed its top slightly pressurised from the stock turbo shielding over the summer years so should also no doubt consider aftermarket protection layers between the two required parts :-)

    I’m also guilty of having a battery (spiral cell) like the Optima as my starting battery

    Me too for two under the utes 6.5L non turbo hot as hell bonnet and still trucking on against all apparently unsuitable advice. I do believe though that massive radiant heat does come off the family truckster stock turbo and auxiliary battery placement there we/and or aftermarket battery trays should allow for those inevitable experiences :-)

    I bought 2 Optima Yellow top D31 battries for the GU and ran that pair gor 7 years under the bonnet. During that time my bad tune saw my TD run 500+ egts constantly and 500+ for 12 hour stints towing and touring. Those Optimas where awesome!! They died 2 months apart!!

    I went to Battery World and bought a pair of AGM Extreme battires because i liked the 135AH rating for each and they where specifically rated for under bonnet.

    After 3 months under the bonnet i went to use my compressor one day with the engine off and the second battery was flat as a tack!! Popped the bonnet and it was swallen badly. Checked the drivers and it had also swallen.

    Took them both back and they swapped them again. The next one lasted 3 weeks before the psssenger side was a writeoff.

    They swapped them out for a pair of D31 Optimas for no charge.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
