Default Check your Field Box Battery

Noticed some fluid on the bottom of the flight box and when I took the sealed lead acid battery out, found black stains under it. Turns out the case seal on the four year old battery has failed and the battery acid is leaking out. I trickle charge it at 25 mA and hope that was not the cause. Luckily caught it fairly early, but it still damaged the wood a bit. Am going to install a plastic case to house the new battery to avoid this in the future. So..... Check your battery often.
