Allan presents the better advice below. Ignore my previous post
until you are sure the battery is bad.<br><br>

There is nothing in your message that definitively tells me that you have
either a bad cell or a bad battery. "Minor corrosion on one
terminal" is normal behavior, especially if the installer didn't
coat the terminals at installation. "One cell was not using as much
water as all the rest" is a matter of perception. You write yourself
that "everything looked fine." It seems to me that you're
jumping to conclusions based on the comment of another Wrench without
doing sufficient testing first. Get the client to put a measured load on
the system without charge. This isn't hard to do with an amp-hour meter
in the system - you want a steady load of about 55 A (a C/20 load). If
you have a bad cell, it'll show up soon enough.<br><br>
For now, I'm on Interstate's side.<br><br>
Hope this helps,<br>
