Default RE: has anybody else had this problem?

SLA's gas during extreme charge or discharge. My sub has the SLA's in the wet part of the sub, so gassing is not a problem. DO NOT seal a lead-acid battery in your WTC. You will eventually have it explode, destroying your submarine and ruining your whole day.

If you need to keep your batteries in a sealed area, change up to NiCads or other similar battery. If you can, just move your SLA's outside your WTC into the wet area of your sub and you won't have a problem.
