                                          7.2  VOLT BATTERY
The battery is FINISHED!  Swelling CAN occur due to being discharged  TOO 
FAR,(below 6.0 volts) improper charging, or, sometimes, just old age.  dispose of 
it in a safe place, away from combustible material.  (Outside,  in a METAL 
trash can, away from the house) When you replace it, remember NOT to  discharge 
below 6.0 volts, and store it with at least 7.2 volts charge. ( FULL  charge 
is just OVER 8 volts, typically 8.2 to 8.4 volts) If for ANY reason, the  
battery is charged OVER 8.4 volts. it will be DAMAGED.---73, KC3VO, Bob  Curry.
