Hi, George - I'd bet you've overfilled them a little, and it's boiling over.
The batteries heat up as they charge, and boiling inevitably happens toward the end of the cycle. If the water level is too close to the top, especially in the hot weather, it boils over.
"Don't overfill battery cells especially in warmer weather. The natural fluid expansion in hot weather will push excess electrolytes from the battery."
