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.
Nope, not common at all, at least this time of year when it's 110F outside. There's no condensation on anything in the morning/night. In the winter (cooler) months you'll see some just not now.
