I've read this claim before but I'd sure like to know how a WFCO that is supposed to bulk charge @ 14.4 volts but never does can possibly "boil out" any battery that has been regularly checked for proper fluid level and not excessively discharged. :h 6 1/2 yrs service is pretty darned good for any battery so I'd have serious doubts your WFCO was in any way able to "boil out" your battery ... more likely it died of old age and because it had stratified from not being properly bulk charged. My own Interstate G27 which up until last fall had only ever seen a WFCO is now 9 yrs old and still going strong.
