battery getting hot
I have 1 battery getting hot. I pulled the caps to check the water and it was low. It took half a gallon of distilled water to fill up. would the water being low cause the studs to heat up or do I have another problem. All 6v batteries.

Re: battery getting hot
yep ... If the electrolyte level drops below the tops of the plates, irreparable damage may occur

Re: battery getting hot
This right here tells there is likely something wrong with that battery or there is something else wrong (not likely) as batteries that are less than a year old should not be going through that much if any water at all.... While I'd be most suspect of the battery I'd be mindful of the charger and/or if that battery is being un-equally tapped power wise. My batteries are near 2 years old and have needed no water at all...

Re: battery getting hot
I agree that there is something wrong with that battery if it uses water much faster than the others. Less than a year old batteries usually don't consume much water. You should still check them often. Exposed plates damage the battery - and can overheat it.

Re: battery getting hot
Lose connections or dirty terminals will cause it to over heat as well.

Re: battery getting hot
Yeah I noticed it has gotten loose. I tighten it up and will drive it this evening to see if it gets hot. Only get hot after driving, not while charging.
