i am fishing tomorrow and i filled my trolling 2 deep cycle batteries up to about half the way up the little slits in the cells. i have a cabellas dual onboard charger that gives 8 amps between 2 batts. after i plugged them in to that charger (both at the same time) they lost some fluid at the beggining of the charge. Maybee i overfilled em im not sure. was wondering if this might have hurt em any? like did i loose any acid out of them? they been plugged in to the same charger the whole off season and kept charged.

Re: batterb boil over

Battery cells need to be completely covered with<br />electrolyte.<br />It sounds like you may have boiled them if they<br />were on a charger since last season without a monitored trickle <br />charge. Or automatic charger.
