How long did you leave the car for?

When going on holidays and the car isnt going to be driven best to unplug the battery.

With it cracking and spilling, thats very unusual. Id speak to the battery peeps also and see if they have any ideas to why it did that.

IF its still under warrently (the battery) even better
