Accidentally used charger instead of tender!?

one sign of an over-charged battery is acid leakage. I think if your battery holds enough juice to start your car after about a week of sitting, it is fine.

They asked if the battery looked bowed/warped which it does not. Also, they said to check the terminal. There's some purplish residue on them along with a little bit on the plastic part of the battery underneath them. The purple stuff on the terminals is dry and wipes off, and the stuff on the plastic is a bit greasy. I'm assuming it was put on their when they changed the battery last time and not from this issue?
