<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Baking soda is worse then cola, straight water is
the ticket for cleaning battery post and the top of the battery. Baking soda
works great for nutralizing any acid in the tray or if you have one explode
you want to wash all radiator and condensor cores as well as the entire engine
bay area as soon as possible. I can't tell ya how many radiators, ac
condensors, fluid and ac lines and such I have had to replace due to battery
acid. Just keep it away from the top of the battery as it will get in where the
post exits the battery<FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> through the plastic
case, same place the acid gets out and attacks the terminals and cable
ends.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
