My motorcycle battery keeps going bad?

I have replaced the battery on my motorcycle numerous times. I just got it out of the shop for electrical problems. When I took it to the shop, it had a shorted battery and a bad negative battery cable. The cable and battery were replaced then. Also, my run-turn-brake module was bad and my s&s ist ignition module was shot. All of this has been replaced. I have always had battery issues with this bike. Once I found out the cable was bad, I chalked all of my battery issues to the cable. I got the bike out of the shop 2 weeks ago.

This past week I had to ride it work, because the fuel pump went out on my truck at work....where it still sits. Ok, I will just take the bike. These last two days, the bike has gradually gotten harder to start(when the bike has sat for ~12 hours). I live in Texas so the outside temp is pretty hot now. I would be at a red light and I would smell this terrible odor. This is the first time I have smelled it. The bike is air cooled and of course would start to get hot at the light. Normal. But the smell?? Only when the bike was getting hot.

Ok..so now here is the deal. I drove it to work last night and got off this morning. Dead!! I pulled the seat off and saw like a rust color around the positive terminal and what appeared to be some type wet material...not much though. I rubbed it and smelled my finger. Bingo!! There is where the smell was coming from. Its a gel battery. Ok, so now I have a 1 month old brand new battery, that has only really been used a week straight, that is fried!!! 1 week worth of use. The past batteries would go around 4 months. And I now have 2 vehicles broke down in the parking lot at work.

This is the first battery that has actually leaked on me. I had another one that I returned and the battery place said that it was actually exploded internally. The others would just eventually short. What would cause this?? Another question....the starter is a ultima thunderfire 2.4KW starter, which requires 300amps. My battery is only 325amps. Could this be the reason why I keep toasting batteries? Sorry for the long post. I wanted to give some history of my issue.
