AmericanJD glad to read they are going to take care of your problem :thumbsup:.

Are they going to change anything or might you have the same issue again?

Looked like the same battery but honestly I can't tell if its the same or not.

AmericanJD just heard back frommy JD dealer. He said the 2520 battery is sealed and vented with a hose that comes off of the top of the battery and goes out through the base of the battery box.

Alright. Just got it home yesterday and everything looks good. I'll just have to keep an eye on things around that area for awhile incase I/they missed something.

Trouble is, batteries kind of tend to keep leaking acid out the top and corroding the cooler lines, so the new one will corrode sooner or later too. Putting the battery in front of the radiator (and cooling fan) tends to suck the acid directly toward the hydro cooler. I don't know what the solution is. Someone suggested containing the battery in one of those plastic boxes you put boat batteries in. Seemed like a good idea (except there's no way to tie it down with the standard battery hold-down clamps).

I think JD needs to come up with a better solution to the problem.
