Maverick, We have. One set, of the large PVX9150 2V cells. They sat upright in the shop for a few months (job fell through; batteries soon used in another installation) and showed this leakage before they were ever placed into service. To us, it's a likely warranty issue, and we intend to press for replacement or compensation. I have attached a photo. Nearly all of the 24 cells show some amount of leakage. Our distributor contacted Concorde on our behalf, and was told "They were puzzled to hear about this and surprised. Their feedback was that the batteries may not have been properly cleaned/flushed before leaving the plant, leaving a diluted acid residue. They also said they will replace any batteries that are actually leaking because that should not be happening at all. Again, they seemed dismayed that you would find an entire set leaking because that just doesn’t happen." They asked for serial numbers, which we just went to the site and recorded today. Allan
