Hello All,

I recently got my 'new' 2007 Miles ZX40S, and after driving it 3 miles a battery blew. I stuck Walmart's finest battery in as a replacement (to get the car home), and after driving it about 4 more miles two more batteries blew. These are the huge Chinese batteries that come with the car. I don't know if the batteries are bad or something is causing them to blow. I am working with Miles, who said before they shipped the car that the batteries put in were new, but it is very painful to get them to do anything. Anyone have any suggestions on what to troubleshoot?

Thanks!
