Default Battery Acid Smell in Coach

Smelled battery acid in the coach. I had filled coach batteries about 3 days ago. Now one is smoking and low on water. The other is just a hair down on water. Battery is from March 2012. What's your thoughts?

If all were doing it I'd say your charging system is overcharging

get that battery out of your system and back to where you bought it. Should still be under warranty.

You clearly have either a very "HOT" converter or a shorted cell.
