Altezzas and nozzle LED will make your battery blow.

 

the acid is edible after drying it in the sun. try sprinkling some of it on your muffins or cereal in the morning. it makes for a nutritious and tasty snack.

seriously, don't touch it. even after is dries it'll still eat right through your t-shirt and probably burn your skin.

Never heard of that before, but it's just too funny. :WTF:

 

Just went back home and put baking soda all over, it creates a lot of bubbles. Looks like the acid has been Neutralized.

Thanks for the tip, it helps alot.

 

:thumbup:

let it sit ... and put even more baking soda on it to be safe. when that's done ... get some engine cleaning spray and hose off your engine bay (read the directions on the can, you do have to wrap quite a few parts in foil first)

if there is any dried acid after all of that ... take a metal brush to it and scrape off the residue.

 

Eklypse39,

The dealer is going to pick up the car tomorrow for free, but I will have to pay the new battery and installation fee. Do you think they know how to handle the cleaning? How about any potential damages?

 

they'll know what to do with the battery cleanup. just complain if there still a mess when they're done ... but as far as damages go ...

there could be some electrical damage ... an exploding battery is the biggest power surge i could think of.

 

happend to my roomate's 96 av6 a while back (with stock bat, ~45kmi) . it left a small dent in the hood.

 

Normal by-product of the charging and discharging cycle of a "wet" battery is hydrogen gas. Add a spark and it goes "boom." Exploding batteries are most common when jumping dead batteries, but it can happen like you described.
