Battery Acid all over; strange electrical problem

RE: Battery Acid all over; strange electrical problem
Charging system can be checked at any auto-zone or other good auto stores, and they will remove your old battery and sell you a new one if thats the case, why not check both, since the check on the system is free :-)

RE: Battery Acid all over; strange electrical problem
Why people bring these threads back i dunno. I would guess that the voltage regulator in the alternator has gone to **** in this case. You wouldn't need autozone, just a voltmeter. Check the charging voltage at the battery (put the leads across the battery terminals while the engine is running). If the voltage is a steady 13.5 volts, it should be ok. If the voltage is jumping around w/o touching the throttle then the voltage regulator has most likely gone bonkers.
