Re: [Chrysler300] Battery causing acid spray

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't have a picture to send but when your voltage regulator goes bad 
your battery will get anywhere from 16 to 20 volts which gets the 
battery hot and boils the acid which then starts venting out the caps or 
vents.  It is a very dangerous gas and will explode with the smallest 
spark and the acid gets all over everything.  When the Battery explodes 
it usually blows the top off of the Battery.  I have seen this happen 
several times to co-workers and home mechanics.
