Battery question?
My jeep (01 Cherokee) die today and call AAA for a jump. I notice there
are white stuff all over the negative side of the battery. The dealer
(service guy) tell me to spray some baking soda water on it which I
did. It melt or dissolve those white ashes away but then I notice there
is some bubble coming out of the battery and turn the baking soda water
to green color. No matter how much baking soda water I spray on the
battery, the green liquid remain. I decide to charge the battery (which
may be a big mistake) after it dried up a bit and now I can hear a
sizzling noise (or boiling water sound) from the battery. Can someone
tell me what's going on? Should I not recharge the battery? Do I need
a new battery? Thanks in advance.

Re: Battery question?
Hi Lynn,
The white lead sulfite, and green copper sulfite are caused by acid
evaporating out of an over charged battery. Probably because the battery
is bad and no longer capable of holding a complete charge. Cleaning with
baking soda neutralizes that acid, from doing further damage, now have
someone clean the terminals, so that connection won't fail again.

Re: Battery question?
Hello, L.W. Thanks for the advice. Does that mean beside cleaning the
terminal, I should replace the battery too? Also, the sizzling noise I heard
from the battery when charging with a charger, does it mean it is not taking
charges? Thanks again.

Re: Battery question?
Besides what Bill said, your battery seams to be leaking. You should go buy
a new one. So you don't have to stress about this again, I would do more
than just go to the local sears store for a replacment. Look around for
what's called an 'Optima' battery. There is red and yellow I believe, get
the red one. They don't leak and are tough as nails. Mine has lasted me
four years and is still going strong.
Please be very carefull with your battery! Don't try to charge it again!
Injured batteries can leak explosive gasses, and if you create a spark near
one of the terminals, well....
