Yes, face shield on...the guy at Advance used a digital tester and tested it 3 times, finally telling me it was "good but a little low on charge" When I know a big old carbon pile heater would have dropped that batteries voltage like 7th period French. I have had 2 batteries explode on 2 different friends but not me. One blew in a 67 Mustang while the guy had the hood up and it knocked him back on his heels, but he was 5 feet from a water hose that was already turned on so he was able to rinse off his arm and shirt that took the hit. He was wearing sun glasses too and still has them with spatter on the lenses. The other blew under the hood of a 66 Comet and put a dent in the hood and showered a brand new shiny Edelbrock carb as well as 1 chrome valve cover. IF the cell was shorted, can I test it with a VOM probing the plates in the cell? I thought I saw someone do that.
