Do you get condensation where you live in Texas? We had an issue at work one time with hybrid bus batteries that sat on the top of busses, you've probably seen that big bulge on top of some busses, that's where the battery pack is on the ones we make. Municipalities would make their routes during the day and then some busses were parked inside a building over night while others sat outside.

During the night, the battery packs cooled down and condensation formed and dripped into the batteries, shorting some out. I'm wondering if in fact the factory either forgot some protective covering somewhere, a condensate tube or? thereby allowing condensation to form where it shouldn't. Not sure where you are in Texas but some areas get quite humid, like HumidHuston :-) Just a thought.
