Another Battery Issue....leaked out
The only place I have to my batteries for my trolling motor isn’t level. It’s probably at 15 degree angle. I haven’t been paying too much attention, just plug up when I get home from fishing and unplug a couple days later. Well my charger had a red light on battery one. They’re a pain to get to, but I got both out. Battery one was wet on the bottom and the tray was wet. It looks to be pretty much dry inside. Battery two is fine.
Battery one is a 2016 Exide
Battery two is a 2018 Exide.
I got my current boat back in March this year. I made sure both batteries were good and full of water then because I knew it would be a pain to get to.
Question is: did it leak because of angle? Did my charger boil it dry? Do I need sealed AGM batteries?
I’ll get some water tomorrow and if it can be salvaged.
I’ll have to decide what to do Thursday because I’m fishing Saturday no matter what.

New boat
Batteries were mine. The bad one was bought in 16. Put in charge as soon as I get home.
Charger was bought this spring.
Wedges aren’t going to be an option. Batteries are under the front deck and I only have 3/4” between post and deck.
