Subject: RE: Battery Charging-does this make sense





This sounds like a charger putting out too high a voltage at inappropriate times during a charge, resulting in heating of the battery electrolyte and then it expands and leaks out.

A good charger should be able to measure how much current the battery is drawing and control the voltage to appropriate levels, and adjust it at different stages during the charging cycle; higher voltages at the beginning; lower towards the end, until it's "trickling". 

Here's a good read: http://www.evdl.org/pages/hartcharge.html

Is your charger a "good quality" one?
