Never fill a discharged battery before charging.
Never fill higher than the very bottom of the plastic tube with a split in it.
Finally someone got it RIGHT!
The battery shop that had sold and installed my 4 new 12V deep cycle house batteries told me exactly that.
At two months old those batteries where boiling/leaking out of the caps, (I had filled them to the split ring prior to charging them).
A tech sucked electrolyte out of each cell of each battery, (down to the level of the very BOTTOM of the split/tube).
I have maintained the electrolyte at that level, (using distilled water), for the past 6 years with no problems.
I check the level every three months and usually have to add water twice a year, (your mileage may vary). LOL

It sounds like you put too much distilled water into the batteries. The battery should only be filled to the top of the split rings.
