4g/A All the terminals are very well protected from corrosion by rubber & lead

1b/ The vent plugs are not so good as those of several other batteries & allow acid to spray out when fully gassing

2b/ The celluloid "sling" for carrying the battery about is not a very safe arrangement as the battery might easily be dropped or the sling broken.
