If they boiled out, you almost certainly did damage; how serious depends on luck. Sometimes batteries can partially recover but you definitely reduced their capacity - how much can be best determined by load-testing. Alternatively, you can get an idea by checking sp gravity once recharged but that isn't as conclusive.

Absolutely check each cell with a hydrometer as one bad cell, which is almost inevitable in this scenario, will kill the entire bank.

      How Often Do You Inspect Your Car Battery?
      By juliaanderson
      Hi everyone,
      I've noticed that many drivers don't think much about their car battery until it suddenly fails to start the vehicle.
      Over the past year, I've started checking the battery terminals, cleaning off any corrosion, and testing the battery before long trips. It only takes a few minutes but can help avoid unexpected breakdowns.
      I'm curious how everyone else handles battery maintenance.
      Do you test your battery on a regular schedule, or do you only replace it when you notice signs like slow engine cranking or electrical issues?
      I'd love to hear what routine has worked best for you and whether you've found any simple maintenance tips that really make a difference.
