Nasty Taste From Sealed Auto Battery

[CyanideKitty]

I'm getting that nasty burnt metallic taste from one of my sealed auto batteries. I know it's not the carto because it tasted fine on the battery that needed to be charged and tastes fine on the battery I'm using now. Any suggestions on how to get rid of said taste?

Is the battery fresh off the charger?

I've noticed with my batteries the first few hits off the charger are a bit higher voltage. If you take long hits off that, it'll dry the wicking out around the coil and give you a metallic and/or burnt taste. After you let the juice settle again, it's not so bad. When I pull my batteries off the charger, I take small hits the first four or five, then normal.

Other than that, I'm not sure, sorry!

yes I agree with that... sometimes a new or freshly filled carto is needed for a freshly charged batt.

+1. I almost ALWAYS top off my cartos before transferring it to a newly charged battery, because sometimes it does that.

Are you cleaning and wiping the battery down regularly?
