Hello all, today I bought a very nice 914 that had what looks like a battery fire. I think that because the battery has melted in half and the sail pail shows signs of smoke. I bought it from a donation yard so the owner isn't around to question. So I bring it to y'all, What would cause this and how can I prevent it in the future?
