Be warned, i have seen battery tops melt from getting over charged and running low on water. That was on an 80 volt battery bank that weighed 3800#'s, what a mess. Be carefull and get them replaced and the charging problems corrected ASAP. I assume that they were fine when new and they are now reasonably old? Am i also safe to assume that there is no temp sensor on them or has someone messed with the curve and rendered it useless?
