Just an update...
I sent an E-Mail to the factory early this morning but haven't had a reply yet.
I sent an E-Mail to my dealer about an hour later and received a reply in 10 minutes... He too thought somebody just grabbed the wrong screws.
But, since we know it happened at least twice the I hope the factory answers.
I should have taken some pictures of before I repaired it and put it back together. The hole in the bottom of the battery case is directly over the screened vent hole and it looked like it is a knock-out that is built into the box. There were two knock-outs there, but only one was knocked out. I think there were some ribs around the knock-out, which support the battery. These would trap any spilled water or acid.
I plan to change this battery and box and install two 6V Deep Cycle batteries sometime this summer. I know I need to hook up the vent in the top of the box, but should there also be a hole in the bottom?
