Exide 350CCA L&G Batteries.
Has anyone had problems with Exide L&G batteries from Menards leaking electrolyte while charging with a battery charger?
I have tried more than one battery charger. Microprocessor controlled on L&G setting. Charge voltage less than 14 volts.
My last experience was yesterday using a Schumacker automatic set on 5 Amp range. Checked back in an hour later and had a puddle of electrolyte on the floor. Another time on a different battery using an Optima automatic charger on L&G setting, same problem.
I would like to know if others have had problems so when I present the problem to Exide I can tell them it's not just me.
 
I had a trickle charger on 2amps on a new full size Exide battery overnight a couple of months ago that leaked acid out. It hasn't seemed to bother the battery though, but that is at least two that have. Bob
 
Never had an issue. If I recall, that's a sealed battery. Five years ago I purchased a battery minder 12248 charger and batteries last longer. I would think you may have a charger issues that may have damaged battery. I have three excide 350 LG batteries that measure over 400 CCA.
