Usually, a leak around a car battery terminal post is caused by a failure of the SEAL of the case plastic cast around the terminal post. This can be caused by a manufacturing or material defect, from abuse, or from vibration.

How do you reset the tire pressure sensor for a Suzuki?

How to change a side post battery?
I found a video that walks you through changing a side-post battery. http://www.associatedcontent.com/video/3004/under_the_hood_side_post_battery_change.html My only concern is that the lady in the video says to remove the positive connector first when every other battery changing tutorial has said to remove the negative first. Your call.
When you charge a battery do you connect positive or negative first?
The man said it Always connect the positive + cable first to the battery. Then connect the negative- cable to the engine somewhere. Never connect the negative cable to the battery itself. Batteries vent hydrogen gas and which can ignite with the slightest spark. For this reason never, ever, connect the negative first and never connect the negative to the battery.
How do you change the battery in a key fob for a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
I just saw a post that said to take out the little key, insert a small flathead screw driver into the fob, and it should pop apart to allow battery replacement.
Why does my positive battery terminal keep corroding Sometimes it is like a science experiment with an inch of white and blue powder?
The plastic case is cracked around the post allowing fumes to corrode the post. Buy some of those treated battery post washers and a can of battery terminal protector spray. Or, get a new battery.

What happens if you connect a short copper wire to both the positive and negative terminals of a battery and why?
The wire will get hot, the temperature it gets up to will depend on the ampere of the battery and size of wire. The wire can get hot enough to causes burns or start a fire if the battery is large enough. Why this happens is because you have shorted the battery out. The power comes out of the positive post and back in the negative post. When you short it out the power can flow from one post to the other very quickly causing the short to get hot, due to the amount of flow.

Is there any way to repair an airsoft gun battery that was accidentally charged with the incorrect charger?
I've asked my friend, a lecture in electronics engineering, he said that overcharging is the main cause that leads a battery to failure (neither it's NiMh, NiCd, or LiPo) or shorten its life, not the "memory effect" itself. Overcharging can cause crystal to be built in the battery cell/cells. The more we overcharging it (longer the time or do it several times) the more the cell/cells will be broken. If you only overcharged it once, its still be ok. If you have LiPo battery, I suggest you yo buy a balancer to be use with your charger. It will prolong battery service. There are several way to repair broken battery. I've read that we can short-circuiting Ni-Cd battery in order to get it back to work, but the chance is only 50%. So it's definitely NOT a choice. The latest news I heard is we can use a smart charger-balancer that can "fix" broken cells in LiPo battery.

Would a pretty good leak in the transmission fluid affect the ability of a fuel injected car to start as it has a new battery and a new gas line that was re-routed they said?
The transmission leak should not have affected the way the engine starts. Repairing the transmission leak should not have affected the way the engine starts. A new battery should only have IMPROVED the way the engine starts. If someone was not careful and allowed a small particle to get into the fuel line as they were re-connecting it, it could certainly block the injector and cause starting problems, especially if it's a throttle-body (single injector) injected engine.
