I have a basic electrical question and I'm looking for a logic check. A while ago my battery came lose and dipped over. A bit of acid came out and burned the battery cable insulation. I was able to s

How much acid leaked out? If the plates in the battery are now exposed, the battery could be ruined. Check the voltage at the battery terminals at rest and when cranking. It's possible that there is

Along these lines, how did you replace the fluid? Did you top it off with battery acid, or just add water. If you just added water, you probably have a problem with a weak battery. Tim Mullen /// un

Mmm, probably not. Corroded copper, while reducing voltage, will almost always allow a 12 volt car to start. More likely is a poor contact. Such as corrosion on the battery terminal between the faces

200-600 amps of electrons get real fussy about wire diameter (resistance), and starters want to see all the elctrons that they ask for, so, yes, you need to replace your battery cable (and clean off

My favorite method for this is an old toothbrush using baking soda dissolved in water. Be very careful not to get any of this mildly caustic solution inside the battery or it will neutralize your aci

I would add to all that: Do not overlook the contact area between starter and block/bellhousing. If it is a RCH loose and maybe has some oil between the surfaces, the ground will be poor, or at best

I took the psychopathic route on my track car; the ground cable goes to the starter, then jogs off to the chassis. Seeking a return path through a #8 ground strap and a bunch of spot welds won't hac

in my experience, whether pep boys or autozone judge a battery to be bad or not depends greatly on if it's their battery you want replaced under warranty. I've had them tell me perfectly fine battery
