Re: battery ?
How full did you fill them? Generally you want 1/4" over the top of the plates to no more than 1/2" over the top of the plates. Any more than that can/will cause the batteries to bubble out some water vapor during the charge process until it lowers itself. Don't lower it yourself though as you will remove both acid & water....

Re: battery ?
I would also slide a piece of cardboard, carpet remnant or something under the cart if you don't want to get permanent stains on your garage floor.

Re: battery ?
After it's charged, you need to rinse the batteries down with a little water and baking soda to kill the acid

Re: battery ?
Water level RISES when you charge so never fill before charging unless the plates are exposed. (Then only fill just over the plates) Always fill after a complete charge. Never fill above the bottom of the fill ring inside the top.
