Battery Compartment leak ( Up Date)
Found out it was the battery, thanks to some of your suggestions. I went and purchased a Hydrometer, I had 2 cells bad in one of the batteries. My question it seems like the battery just leaks when it...

To shut the charger down (you really do NOT want to do that, you want to stop the batteries from drawing current)
Step one. Get two small cans of spray paint, One red, One black (Testors?)
Step two, On the most positive battery terminal is one or more wires running off to who knows where (NOT to another battery) Spray paint RED
On the most negative.. Well I know where it runs to but paint it black.
Wait 24 hours for paint to fully dry
Now remove wires from negative terminal and set aside (NOTE: If you wish you can lift one end of the jumper between the two batteries first but.. You need to be very careful if you do this I'd wait and pull the most negative lead, an accidental short to ground won't cause damage or injury)
Then remove the POSITIVE (now red) wires and put a bolt through them and wrap this in plastic, put it in a cup, or bottle or wrap it in bubble wrap or otherwise insulate it from everythign.
Replace batteries come spring
The bolt will keep you from loosing a stray wire
The paint tells you which end is which.
