So you replaced the stopper and it's still leaking?

That's a more involved job, obviously. I did it on one of mine and hated it. Rusted fasteners...leaks....etc. etc.
Actually, a client. They have a Grid+Battery system, dating from 2011. The solar company that installed it went out of business. I've been helping them since 2016.

The UB4D is a poor battery for the application. It does not have a very good life. The C&D batteries are designed for long life (10 years) in standby applications. That system will cycle maybe 100 times in 10 years. Good application for VRLA sealed lead-acid batteries.
