Leaking Batterys

so heres the lowdown... Our robot voltage not under load was 10.25v, our voltage under load was about 8v. We took the battery off of our robot and we noticed that there was a bit of brownish liquid, we put some sodium bicarbonate on it. It sarted to fizz and found out that it was battery acid. We have had a few batterys go this way. The model number is mkes17-12... Has anyone had any problems with these?
