maybe they've leaked out via the magic smoke:

Magic Blue Smoke
There's a saying that a former coworker once told me: "Computers and electronics operate because of magic blue smoke contained inside. If you let the magic smoke out, they don't work anymore." I should have listened.

I must disagree. The HD battery is pretty good and usually long-lived.
Odyssey batteries are a quality item, but dispite what their blub might say, don't have enough cold cranking for an engine which is basically two buckets whizzing up and down a sewage pipe.
If HD products aren't your bag (let's face it, who want's to put money in HD's pockets nowadays) you should've got a Yuasa.

When I replaced the 8yr battery on my M2, I seem to remember it being a rebadged Yuasa. Have to agree with TTT, HD/Buell batteries are the best I've ever come across 8-)

You should have gone for the Powermax listed below the Odyessy.
It says, "Ideally suited for small tractors". lOl

My HD battery is over 11 years old and still going strong. ;)
