Water loss in Everstart battery

[ad1974]

I bought a new deep cycle Everstart from Walmart a couple months back and have been happy with the performance of it until recently.Last Sunday I went out fishing and it died on me after about 4 hours,it was fully charged when I went to the lake and it normally the charge was lasting twice that time without dying.I put it on the charger on Monday and after about 4- 5 hours went out to check on it and noticed it was leaking water out the caps on one side.I pulled it off the charger and cleaned it up,yesterday I got the boat out to go fishing and right away noticed more water had leaked out during the week off the charger.I just put it on the charger today to recharge and it's leaking more water than even before.I don't know anything about batterys and never really had a problem before,anyone know what's up with this,I added some distilled water back but it just keeps coming back out.

Take it back to Wally World. It has a shorted cell. Trade it for an Everstart Maxx. Its a much better battery made by Johnson Controls. The one you have is made by Exide.

my cheap everstart lasted 6yrs and was still going when i sold my boat great batteries,some people just hate wally world don`t know why ,most things you buy anymore will have some problems i think that is because quality control at factorys ,just my opinion

Is it possible that your over filling the battery, just a thought.
