In a properly operating system, I've never had these problems when I've used
those little felt washers.
Bruce, do you know what the charging voltage is? If it's too high, and the
battery is not a sealed type, it can cause the battery to boil over or vent
fumes. In my experience it's acid residue on top of or around the battery that
causes these issues most of the time. Something is conducting where it
shouldn't be..
I'd check the charging voltage, if it's much higher than 14.5 volts or so I'd
think about getting an adjustable regulator. Also, as suggested a sealed
battery may help if you don't already have one.
