Getting my boat ready for the year i noticed a build up in the bottom of one of the battery trays. In then looked at the batteries and saw where some fluid may have run down the battery. Should i replace it?
Ok - first find out if its electrolyte> a teaspoon of baking soda will tell you. If it doesn't fizz when you sprinkle it on the liquid its not dangerous. If it fizzes, its electrolyte -> remove battey, + battery tray and then figure out solution...wash with lots of water. VRLA (valve-regulated, lead-acid) batteries should never leak!
Good luck!
