Are the pads the battery sits on worthwhile?
Is there a battery that does not emit the bad stuff?
Thanks All.

Annual removal of the battery and washing the entire area with a mix of baking soda and water in a spray bottle, with a rinse of water also does wonders.

Baking soda is a base that counteracts the acid from the batteries and , for me anyways, is a typical annual job...not fun but satisfying to see all the hard work is still clean.
I do this to all my lead acid battery cars....

I also touch up any paint issues at the time.
You need to remove the computer from its location and twist upside down to get into all the right places.

I have added an additional drain tube at the lowest point of the longitudinal with a small pipe welded in to divert any draining around the heater tube abd out below the longitudinal.
BUT
Paper towels and a good thorough job also works...
