Monday I went to start my 240U... battery was dead and it's only about a year old. Put the charger on it and about 3 or 4 hours later it started right off, but it had water from what appeared to be one cell on top of the battery. I washed it down with soda water to neutralize the acid, let the tractor run just a couple of minutes because at that point I didn't have time to use it. Today it fired right off, so the battery was still charged.
I guess my question would be, is the cell the acid boiled out of bad, and if it was, why was it okay today? Or could there have been a temporary drain on the battery through the alternator or somewhere (has been converted to single wire 12V alternator).
