VERY common problem on "A Piece of Crap" UPS systems (as well as

The acid in an AGM battery is Absorbed in the Glass Mat.

No, the Glass Matt just keeps it from sloshing around. You break open
that case and the solution will leak out post haste.

And you have NEVER seen an accidental leaking of an AGM battery. Now
just admit it.

Those that can: Do. Those that can't: Teach

They are also called "starved electrolyte" batteries - and even when
fractured they do not "leak". They are very similar in that respect to
the older "gell cell"
