After being setup for 10 days with electric hook ups; this morning all of the sudden the 12 volt lights dimmed and stayed dim. I went out side and checked the 12v breaker, sure enough it had tripped. I reset it and then smelled sulfur. I opened up the battery compartment and one of the batteries looked like a steam iron it was out gassing badly. I could hear the fluid bubbling inside of it. It was hot to the touch. I unplugged the converter/charger and left the compartment open to vent the gas. After an hour I felt it was safe to remove the battery to replace it. New battery and everything is back to normal.

Hopefully it didn't hurt the charger....
I'd put a multi-meter on to see what rate it is charging at.
