DRR Trophy |
I have a trunk mounted battery in a Chevy Nova. The battery is not in a plastic battery box. I run a one wire alternator that charges 14.6 volts max. After about a month, everything metal with the slightest scratch within two feet of the battery develops corrosion. The terminals generally look good. I have tried three different Bosch batteries with the same result. The batteries are standard 12 volt and are sealed---at least no place to add water. I have mounted batteries in the trunk of other cars before without an issue. What am I doing wrong? | ||

Sounds like battery is out gassing badly I would try a battery box. Where is battery grounded? The difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Stupidity is the inability to learn. Don't be stupid | |||

If the battery is gassing, there is a problem, always. Overcharging, undercharged, shorted cell.... Is the compartment vented at all? Are you using a maintenance charger in between races? You could be cycling the batteries too deep. "Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular." Dave Cook N375 | |||
