What causes your Battery to boil?
We were camping with some friends this weekend. He thought he had a sewer issue until he figured out it was his battery outgassing. The thing was boiling. What would cause this? We took the battery...

After getting the battery tested and being told it was good we got distilled water and topped it off. At this point we were thinking bad WFCO converter. We bought a multi-meter and checked the voltage when we hooked it back up. It was never higher than 12.7 volts but the battery got hot and started boiling again after an hour.
The voltage was not high so I was thinking a shorted battery.
We replaced the battery. It was hooked up all night with no increase in temps or boiling.
He doesn't keep his trailer plugged in all the time. Hopefully everything will be good when we are ready to go again.
Likely one dead cell, which results in overcharge of the other cells.
BTW WFCO is known for almost never ever going into bulk charging mode, usually stays at 13.6 or so max
