Never heard of them either. I looked them up and it seems like a generic brand that independents sell, like the random korean or other asian brands some warehouses or mechs sell in WA. They don't even list batteries on their website in a way you can choose by vehicle, you have to check you dimensions and research that way. Not that anythings wrong with that, it's the same here for other generic names I'm thinking about too, like neuton power etc

And just to be clear you're saying the battery casing cracks around the post and lets out fumes that screw your terminals up right? IE: This is nothing to do with the terminals and all about the battery being faulty.

At least that's how I read it.
go exide, the only brand that's never let me down.
