I have a deep cycle battery for my trolling motor that is only a couple
of months old. I brought the boat home from a trip out this morning and
carried the battery into the shop and hooked up the charger. When I
went to check on it a couple of hours later, the battery was sitting in
a puddle of electrolyte. I found where the battery must have bounced
onto a sharp something in the bottom of the boat. Electrolyte drips
out, but no crack is visible, it must be a small pierced hole. I did
the damage, and my name isn't jajwuth, so the fact that it's in
warranty menas little to me. What I want to know is, can I epoxy the
hole and refill it with fresh electrolyte? Or do I just need to fork
over the cash for a new battery? Thanks guys!
