Wow, that is very interesting especially the part about the good battery being soft and mushy on the inside and a used up one being hard. Thanks Chrisjo

Activenergy is pretty bad. Not only they leak acids, they expand after a leak. See photos below.

I got the batteries from United states via a trackmaster lot.

yes

but the good news is that the motor still runs after I scrapped the white acid of the battery terminal.

Thats a relief. I always cringe when I receive a train with the battery's still in them especially when they are in a Lot from Japan.

everytime I found out there is a batter inside the train, I almost have a heart attack
