Pick away at the undercoating inside the front of the rear wheel well 
and see if it is rusted through there, also. It likely has, allowing 
water into the battery tray. You need to fix the cause first, which 
can probably be done with roofing tar. This is a bad enough job, 
don't think about a pan swap yet.
