What's the age of this machine? Most rechargeable battery technologies are only good for 5-10 years, and after that they start to leak and damage surrounding metals. If this system uses NiCads or Sealed Lead Acid batteries, they should be replaced right away. If it uses Cyclon Sealed Lead Acid batteries, those are usually good for about 15 years, but after about 10, they really should be replaced anyway.
