It is very corrosive and will cause any metal it comes in contact with to rust.
There is acid on the inside and it has burnt through the metal that is keeping it inside. The reason the acid might be leaking out is because the battery has a leak.
My husband said it is caused by the vapor from the battery acid. It is the vapor of the battery acid leaking out of the battery, so the above answer is correct.
Yes, battery acid is very corrosive and will damage any metal parts.
It means that the battery is junk and needs to be repalced. Time to buy a new one.
Car battery acid goes everywhere; acid can burn the hands if the person is not careful. A battery that is low on acid will not hold a charge as well. Most new car batteries have "cells" which hold the acids, so it's likely one cell is leaking.
No, it is battery acid corrosion caused by leaking fumes. Clean it off with water and baking soda which will neutralize the acid.
I have a 2001 Intrepid and my battery kept dying, so 2 tow trucks later I found out that the battery that was in my car had over heated and battery acid was leaking. After that all I had to do was replace the battery and everything is well. Hope this helps!
Yuor battery is leaking fluids or gases. The battery likely needs replaced.
Car battery acid consists of Hydrochloric acid and Sulphuric acid.
Car or automotive battery acid is 30-50% sulfuric acid
A car battery has sulfuric (sulphuric) acid in it.
It's an acid.
