M18 Battery Box

So I started to dewinterize the M18. I opened the battery box to check the battery to see if it needed any water added after being plugged in all winter. I was surprised to see the battery box full of water up to the top of the battery. The cover on the battery box has two vent holes on the top. The box does not have any drain holes in the bottom. I had washed the trailer about a week ago, so I am not sure if the box filled then or from the melting snow this winter, or rain. At any rate you might want to check your battery box for water and possibly drill some drain holes. I suggest giving some consideration to drilling them so they won't drain on the angle supports and also not on the tie down strap. I consider myself lucky that there was no damage to the battery.
