Went to get my deep cycle battery from down in the basement from storing it for the winter and noticed it was all wet on top around the caps, like it's leaking. What would cause this? On the meter it reads 12.6, which should be full charge. I had charged it when I put it away back in December and then put the charger back on it in Feb. just to keep it up. I have moved it a few times since the last time I charged it and I know it was not like that two weeks ago. Is there something wrong or nothing to worry about? I took it outside and put baking soda on it and cleaned it all up and it's not doing it anymore. Thanks for any input.

i had the same problem....and it was making like a gurgling sound...also it wouldnt hold a charge for more than 3 or 4 hours so we took it in and the diagnosis was that the battery was just shot, i dont know if this is the same with yours but it might be worth getting it checked out, most will do it for free, esp like autozone or local marine store and of course a battery place
