Outdoor Solar Lights

I have four large sealed led solar batteries I use for lighting. I have a backup charger to keep them filled, but one night I left it on all night and forgot and the next morning they were warm not hot and bubbling. The reading said 15v so did I damage them or will they be ok? they still read 12v at this time.

they should be ok the excess charge only lasts till the batteries cool down you do need to put a charge limiter on the charger to prevent overchargeing the could blow up. the limiter detects the full charge and stops putting more in. it should be built into your charger if not get one or build one. your life will be easier.
