black discharge on battery
i noticed that there is black discharge all over my battery. Does this mean the battery is going bad?
|
Never seen any black discharge on a battery acid would turn to a white powder with a green tint on metal parts. Is it maybe battery cleaner or anti corrosion gel?
|
well it looks like dirty dired up oil.
|
my autozone yellow tops did that right before they died
I had never seen black residue on a battery before either maybe thats why most batteries are in black cases lol |
Aren't these sealed batteries? I can't check mine as I replaced it a couple of years ago with a high capacity, deep discharge type usually used in public safety vehicles.

maybe time for a new one then. what would be better, autozone redtop or yellowtop?
|
i always get the best warranty most cranking voltage myself
I think at Autozone their yellow top is the best (not to be confused with Optima yellow tops) |
well i cleaned it off, the terminals were full of that white powdery stuff. But it seems to be cranking fine. but ill get a new one before its too late
|
just take it in and get it tested
|
Mine has the same thing. Many batteries do this. Wipe it off with a rag and some simple green.
If the battery is swelling up then replace it. |
