Unusual and frustrating issue:
I'm gathering that acid vapor has deteriorated the
powdercoating on my firewall battery rack hold-down.
That in turn, has made a white "mush" between the
terminal and the rack. Although I've cleaned out much
of the mush, and used baking soda, followed by NoCote,
I'm still getting arcing on charge, and it appears as
though the top of the batteries have melted/burned a
bit.
Seems to me that I need to
1) Pull off the hold down, and have the coating
re-done.
2) <Possibly> Swap out the battery which has had some
burning around the terminals. (7 mos. old)
3) Hit it hard with the NoCote and/or the absorbent
yellow padding that absorbs acid vapors.
Anyone else had this happen? I'm frustrated at
puddling of acid around the battery tops, meaning that
the quick caps (all that US Battery is selling right
now) are indirectly responsible.

Would you still drive your car if the tailpipe came out of the steering wheel? Are you saving any gas for your kids?
