Yellow acid leaking from battery connector?

**game_accord** · 19-03-2008 01:42 AM

I have yellow acid or liquid leaking from my battery connector, also my car seems to struggle a bit when starting up.

Anyone had this problem before?

Moving to technical.

If your battery seems to have a problem, replace it with a new one. I like the Supercharge Gold batteries.

Go get yourself a supercharge gold.note the CCA (cold cranking amps) of the battery you have and get one the same,or tell the people at the store what car you have and they may have a database

first of all i would clean the terminals. i use baking soda and warm water. The baking soda neutralizes the battery acid so it doesnt damage the paint. Then you can use vaseline or there are a few alternatives to seal the terminals so oxygen does not get on them again.

then monitor this to see how it all goes.

what i am guessing he means is some batteries have small holes in the cell caps, which allow moisture / fluid come out of the battery under harsh conditions (such as rtack days).

Been busy so late reply, thanks for all the feedback.

I should clarify myself, there was liquid coming out of it and has now dried up. So you called call it corrosion, which is located on one of the terminals.

Is there a reason why this has happen? My batter looks new, I brought the car used about 4 months ago.
