Looks like my repaired battery tray and hell hole were christened by my new battery based on the white residue and light rust forming in the tray. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
From what I’ve read in posts, I’m thinking voltage regulator and/or alternator as a probable cause. Any words of wisdom for someone new to electrical system troubleshooting and battery acid damage control? |

I had a wire (d-) wire come disconnected on my 6 cyl conversion ...bad splice.
If you put 17.5 volts for an hour or so into a Optima it will boil over. The gell is green and was all over my trunk....apparently squirted up, hit the lid ....all over. Thank God the battery was no longer in the orginal position. A dry cell is the hot ticket....of course it may explode under the same conditions from the lack of vents.
