I was riding an e-bike with my car battery ratchet strapped to my frame on the way home from swapping out my battery from AutoZone, my battery slipped and went sideways (like a 90° angle) for about 2 seconds before I could get it back upright. Did I already mess it up?

Hello KADIE,

Did it hit the ground? If so, did it crack or leak at all?

Thank you,
Brendon

Good morning, Kadie,

Then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. It probably goes through way worse than that just being shipped.

Thank you,
Brendon
