Sounds like batteries have been overfilled
If your batteries are leaking acid during or after the charge, it sounds like they have been overfilled. The batteries should be filled with water ONLY AFTER a complete charge. Someone can take the autofill system loose one battery at a time and take some water (acid) out using a hydrometer suction. Yes this is not a job for someone who doesn't understand the dangers of working with batteries but it is a simple task, but personal care is needed, and a little knowlege. Then after the batteries have completed a recharge cycle (and let set overnight), use the autofill system to bring batteries to correct level. You should also wash the batteries with lots of water while it is setting over the grass and let dry, don't do it in the garage or on the driveway.
