The last time I filled my battery I filled the cells a bit too much but did not run them over at fill time. Not allowing for fluid expansion at full recharge, there was some run over into the battery case.
This is what the case is for.....right? Except, the trailer was not completely level front to back, being high in front. The net result was the acid did not run out of the overflow, ate up the black metal screw that secured the back of the case to the trailer and ran out of the hole that was created by the screw.
I removed and cleaned the battery, the case, and the mess that was in the botttom of the compartment, installed stainless screws along with a about a 1/4" shim under the back of the case to make sure any more accidents will exit the battery box drain.
