I never have really had problem with wet batteries until they have hit around the five year mark. Then you can tell they are starting to go bad because that is when your batteries are requiring more charging then usual and the distilled water starts to vaporize with the over charging. But will the batteries are in good condition they hardly use any water.
This last set that I just changed were ruined at a shop I took my coach for some work that had to be touched up. I left the coach there for about a week and somebody accidentally pushed the compartment lights switch witch are on the dash by the entrance to the coach and the lights stayed on for the whole week with out any charging. The batteries could never pick up a good charge anymore after that. But if that wouldn't have happened those batteries would have probably lasted longer then five years. But that is OK with me IF I can get five years out golf cart batteries, I am satisfied.
