Need to get some basic fluid STAT to keep the Sulfuric acid from eatin away every thing under there:scare2:
|
What's basic fluid?
|
you can use baking soda, it will neutralize the acid. if you mix an acid, and a base it will neutralize each other. baking soda is cheap and effective, you can throw it on as a powder and it will stick to the acid, then mix up a baking soda and water solution to spray on and wash it all away.
do you have any pictures of the battery? |
Na I didn't think to get one til after too battery away. Caps was off the top and it swelled up on sided. Thanks for your help.

Yup mine did the same thing. Did you see a spike on your gauge prior to the caps blowing ?

Just noticed batt volts down a bit. That only thing I noticed.
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- What's yalls voltage at when cranked. Lil under 14? I can't remember what's normal. |
i had one explode on a piece of machinery i was working on. i was leaning over it just before it went leaned back and hit the key to see if it would crank yet and "boom" had to take a baking soda bath lol. not too fun. i have pics of the battery somewhere if i find them i will post them up for ya.
usually happens when the battery is about to die. the hydrogen gas builds up during charging and discharging and if the connection is a little weak it could spark and make a huge mess lol. |
