I have been doing this for four years as well and have seen 3 batteries leak. One was at an off season demo and was another team's battery while it was on charge. This one was also very hot. The other two were during drive practice at our own practice facility, one of which was after a battery was dropped a short height when removing it from our robot. We've also had one battery swell up very strangely, not quite sure what happened there.
