I have two "maintenance free" sealed batteries. Yesterday when I
checked the battery trays where the batteries are secured in place, I
found that both battery trays are quite wet (like 1/16" deep). This is
odd. The batteries are inside a compartment that is protected from
elements, and the rest of the compartment is completely dry -- only the
battery trays are wet. I am sure the water is not from the air because
the air in early winter is relatively dry.

I am not sure if both batteries are leaking or not. I cannot tell. I
have a feeling that I should not expect _both_ batteries leak at the
same time. Anyway, I have already dried the battery trays. I will
check this next weekend to see if they will become wet again.
Meanwhile, I would like to know if there is any "known" reason that can
cause a battery tray becomes wet like mine.

Thanks.

Look at whatever you used to dry the trays with. If it were battery
leakage, whatever you used should be full of holes by now.
