Battery box corrosion

[Pete Masterson]

Sounds like your batteries are 'boiling over' during the charge cycle, allowing battery acid to run down the side of the case and corrode the battery box. The battery chargers in the older WLs are notorious for doing this -- and it can seriously shorten the life of the batteries.

To prevent this, you might consider upgrading your charger/inverter (or just your charger) to a modern three stage type.

I don't really understand what causes this, or how to prevent it. Any 

knoledge out there on this subject?
