Re: Battery Leakage

Looks like i'm gona get some new bats, but how would i determine if the regulator you spoke of is not working. The alternator is charging a 14.5v but the fluid is coming out of the vents so it would apear that the bats are somehow getting overcharged.

Re: Battery Leakage

not cracked, acid is leaking out the vents. The kid at cantire said the were rated for V8 trucks so i figured that they would work?? Thought i should figure out whether it was a van problem before i spent another 200 on other batteries.
