Battery Slideout Tray

So i decided to replace two more of the 6 volt batteries in my battery tray and discovered that the slide on one side wouldn't work. So than i discover the tray somehow was expanded by battery acid from previous owner and bent the angle iron and pushed in between them and battery will not fit in the tray. Anyone had to address this issue?
Thanks Rick

Battery trays are available from Kwikee, now owned by Lippert. Or:

I was able to refurbish my battery tray for around $30 in paint and I think around $100 for new slides.

I'm sure glad that our coach 06 PT has AGM batteries, battery compartment just a bit dusty, no acid and no maintenance to do.
