Best Answer

Answer is: battery is being overcharged. The cause could either be the alternator or voltage regulator, depending on the year and make of the vehicle. There is a very foul egg smell associated with a steaming battery. When this occurs, always look for the signs of steam. The battery will be hot to the touch and it should not be run more than to the parts store for a new battery or the dealership for a battery and checkout of the charging system.
