Art,
corrosion/electroltsis around the bottom of your battery box could alos
mean you have a hairline crack in one of yur batteries as well. I'd
remove the batteries and check each one for cracks of body seperation
between the lid and the battry box first before I spent any money on
battery chargers. You can buy a battery cleaner solution which will
change color to let you know you have a leaking battery.
