Everstart maxx battery height
Just put a new (walmart) battery in, took a while to make sure the battery was seated properly in the tray.
Went to put the clamp on and noticed the front clamp point had about 1/10 inch of clearance... too much to safely secure the battery without crushing the case IMO.
Checked the seating again, it was good, so I added 3 thin washers to fill the gap (4 was too many).
So either the frame has distorted somehow (doubtful) or the new version of the everstart maxx is too tall (probable).
The new version has a built in handle in the middle rather than the big external lifting strap - something to check if you had walmart install the battery for you.
