So I was driving down the road and my engine sounded...funny. I pulled over and had battery acid sprayed everywhere under my hood!
Background story:
Past few days my battery has been dying. It's died three times, to be precise. I hadn't had a chance to do anything about it other than get a jump. Holiday season, you know.
I have a four month old 100 amp alternator (externally regulated) that I just hooked up this summer, but it's worked fine until now. Could the alternator have popped my battery?
The voltage regulator is new and was checked as recently as August when the alternator got replaced.
Where do I start? And what's a good way to remove corrosion gunk and scarring from...everything under my hood?
