Most lead acid batteries have lead terminals. The picture of the battery looks like to me to show lead terminals and lead tie downs.

Hi Chandrakant, it's steel, but the battery/therm casing is plastic. It looks very good however, as the finish is the same as the steel. hope that helps

Frederic G, the battery in question is encased in what appears to be heavy plastic. It seems quite durable and looks just like the original I had.

I don't really know if it's stainless steel or not. It's like all other batteries it is made of steel or some kind of metal. I ordered these batteries three times last year but never received any rust ones. It last between 13 through 16 days. Hope this help.

Mine is now on its 3rd season and it's definitely lost a bit of power. Just read the instructions and follow them and it seems fine. These are lead acid batteries like in a car, so if you leave them in the cold and don't ever charge them, they won't work when you need them. I'm in Michigan, so cold winters are a thing. I bring the battery in for the winter and plug it in once a month like the instructions say and it's been going quite well. I assume next year I might need a new one, but 4 years of mowing with no gas doesn't seem too bad.

Yes, I am confirming that it does. You can always tell by looking at the product image: if there is a separate wire spooled up that is not wired to the t-connector, that means there is a lead to the battery. hope this helps!

No I have not. Only for a replacement for the stock lead acid battery in my motorcycle. Sorry .

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

If the battery was not shipped in the box it was not an electrical short. I'm guessing you got a rebuilt part? Mine melted this summer also from high wattage use during summer. Rod

No, not true. Now there might be inserts for threading that isn't lead, but I'm not sure about that. And my terminals are solid as a rock.

wow, i just now looked at what i got and mine had 12/17/2010. You better ask the seller if you are indeed going to get that kind of battery because they don't usually give you what is posted on the site. better be sure before buying.

Seems like I read it contained lead, but wanted to warn you not to waste your money as mine only lasted a few weeks..i must say it was pretty while it lasted..

Sounds that you make the wrong pole on battery. Please stop it. And what is your battery type? Is it Lead-acid battery?

Yes, they are 'lead acid', but they are not the usual 'flooded lead acid' batteries. See Dave's comment.

Ditto - this is a counterfeit battery. I compared the holograms and they are different and the label looks like it was applied by hand.

Looks like plastic to me. Some brass where the battery is. No mater what it's made of, it worksgreat for looking at things like coins etc.
