Re: [T3] 6v battery shorted out? (BATTERY ACID)


> If the battery is out of the car, but the cables are still getting fuzzy,
just pour couple of tablespoons of baking soda in an old glass and then add
some warm water. Take the glass out to the car and immerse the cable ends in
there. You'll be surprised at how long it take for the bubbling to stop.
Don't worry about cleaning up the baking soda; it won't hurt anything.

I did this today when I was cleaning up my battery area for the new battery.

The negative cable took about 5 minutes.

My positive cable took about 10 minutes.

Both of them got really clean too, neat.
