Battery turned into an ice cube

   / Battery turned into an ice cube #11  
I just serviced a generator with no start during -37°F cold spell we had. Located only about 10 minutes from me. Generator was brand new, but installer did not install the neutral that helped power battery charger. Battery was dead and frozen solid. I installed a new battery and fixed neutral wire issue. I brought the frozen exide battery home, and placed it In a heated building for a few days. Than placed it on my Noco genius10 charger on restore mode. Battery now tests at 610CCA and i went back and swapped the other battery out so i didnt need to charge for a new one. If it was originally installed correctly, it never would have froze. Luckily case bulged but didnt crack.
