just a little Richard.
Jennifer said that she had used a hydrometer and referred to the lead plates being exposed earlier in this post so it leads me to believe that she has Flooded Lead Acid DC Batteries.
If the plates were exposed after a long period of charging they could have been sent through a conditioning charge to help remove any sulfate on the plates to help restore the batteries. I know that Lifeline recommends this for their AGM batteries on a yearly basis. My Heart Power Inverter has this function so I would expect most of the newer chargers to have it as well.
All we can do is speculate although I would recommend that she finds the answer before replacing the batteries.
