Some batteries seem to stay damp on top all the time. if it is acid, needs neutralizing. Also you should always charge a battery to the full specific gravity BEFORE filling it to at least 1/2 inch space from the bottom of filler hole. If filled before charging it will be overfull and possibly run out the top of the case.
