UNwinterizing Questions

[Superbrett]

07 PDS.
This afternoon I retreived my beloved cart from storage over the winter.
Twothings I noticed that I don't know if I need to be concerned over.
This is my first cart, and I don't know if this is normal.

1; 3 of the battery terminals have corroded extensively, I replaced these the week I put her in storage for the winter. All the others look brand new, like the day I put them on.

2; There is now a spot on the garage floor where it was stored that's all rusty, and has eaten into the conrete. I never noticed this in my garage during the summer.

I drove it a couple blocks, and everything seems fine as far a power and REGEN.
I did keep the cart on a charger all winter, plugging/unplugging it about once a week, to reset the charger. I also checked the water levels and everything looks good as far a level, but I have not tested with my hydrometer.

Again, this is my first cart, and the first winter for her. Are these things to be concerned about?

Thanks in advance!

Good news is nothing to be worried about. Clean up the corroded terminals real good on all sides and reinstall with dielectric grease or other commercial battery terminal protector on ALL sides... The floor shows signs of the batteries boiling over during charging. Maybe alittle too full? maybe a few too many recharges? this won't hurt the batteries ~ just the floor.

Thank you for the reply!
Awesome, tomorrow I'll swing by autozone and get some grease!
if i remember right, I used vaseline when I installed them last fall, but, I guess I get what I pay for!

Thanks!
