Nothing serious. Only surface crud. The only systemic problem I can see is that the current battery had the terminals on the forward half of the battery (versus the rear half). the close proximity lead to one of the headlight wires sorting out against the battery terminal and burning up the insulation on the clearance lights. I sorted that out and reinsulated the wires. i think maybe the melted plastic from the wiring might have caused some of this issue.

I've since put additional plastic shielding on the positive terminal to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

I still wonder if some dialectic grease wouldn't be a bad idea
