What do you place on a car battery spillage?

The best home remedy to neutralize spilled battery acid is to pour baking soda on it. It won't undo and damage, but will neutralize the battery acid on contact. This really works, I've also used baking soda to clean corroded battery terminals. Just remember to not wear anything you don't want ruined. Battery acid ruins clothing on contact. If cleaning battery terminals it nay take several applications and you may need to take the battery terminals loose from the battery and lightly scrub it. Making sure to wear goggles or better a full face shield for safety.

Do you need to replace the starter in a 1999 olds cutlass if the moteor will crank sometimes and sometimes not at all?

Maybe. Could also be battery related. Start by cleaning your battery posts and making sure the terminals are tight and not corroded. Loose/dirty battery terminals can cause all kinds of electrical problems. Most auto parts stores will check starters and batteries (and alternators) for free. The battery is easiest; you can drive the car to the store (if it will start) and they can check it in the car. If the battery is OK and the terminals are clean, get the starter checked; you have to remove it to do that. They will (I'm sure) be glad to sell you a new one if it's bad.


How does a torch work for kids?

In a torch (flashlight), the current passes from the positive terminal, through the bulb, and returns back in the negative terminals, making a complete circuit. When the switch is moved to the on position, a metal piece inside the case touches the positive terminals of the battery, the circuit is completed, and the torch turns on. Move the switch to the off position, the metal piece no longer touches the positive terminals of the battery, and the torch turns off.


When you turn on the ignition it fires but has a click when starting?

Likely the battery cables are corroded but the battery is fine. If the battery is good and your getting a clicking sound there likely that ...green corrosion... if you peel the rubber back off your terminals you will seee it. Don't waste money by not making sure the battery is dead first.
