Subject: What happened to my battery ?

Now that we have more info I will address this from a different vantage point. I purchase a fair amount of batteries at the business I work for (golf course). Local vendors sell their batteries with electrolyte in them. If they are shipped from a distance, they come dry because UPS or similar will not transport them wet. So possibly you got a dry battery from the start or the battery was sold with a low amount of electrolyte in it? I have seen this happen every now and then. Check the POS where you purchased your battery from; they may come dry and you have to add the electrolyte yourself. Let me know if that is a possibility. If not, there are electrical gurus on this forum who can walk you thru the process to check the potential overcharging question.
