Had a problem with an 8D lead acid flooded battery. The top of the battery was constantly wet. The charging system checked out fine as did the alternator. Finally got a marine electrician on board and everything checked out perfectly. Final determination was 2 "defective" battery caps.
Did some research and came up with these https://www.flowsystemsusa.com/
After 2 weeks of cruising the battery is bone dry on top and have not had to add any water. I replaced the caps on 2X8D's. I did need to purchase the "adapters" in addition to the caps. More than pleased at this time as the wet battery top was driving me nuts.
