battery leaking acid why?

[karaokegal]

i have a class a diesel pusher. at first i was parking where i did not have electricity and i had to go run the generator every 2 weeks to try to save my batteries. and the batteries leaked acid. i blamed it on the up and down of charged not charged. i did loss batteries twice. i now have a parking spot that i can leave it pluged in and i just put in new batteries and i am still leaking acid. water levels in the batteries are maintained with distilled water but i don't know what to do. has anyone else had this problem. if so what was wrong or what did you do? karaokegal

Are you sure it's acid? Sounds like the batteries are over charging and boiling out the distilled water. Could be a problem with your converter.

I think 'DL Rupper' may have it correct. Sounds like you are 'boiling' out the batt's and the water is coming out the caps. Are you sure your converter is a three-state-charging type and its working correctly. A little more info on type of converter might help.
