Battery issue - boiling, smelling like rotten eggs

[SFSurfDude@xxxxxxx]

Hello All...

Today I took my 64 Crown Coupe on a 120 or so mile freeway trip. On the return trip I noticed a rotten egg smell while driving, I was sure it wasnt my car and pay much attention to it.

10 or so mile later after getting home I opened the hood just to check if everything was OK. I found the battery smoking from the filler hole area (with the covers still on) and that smell again. I could hear it boiling inside as well, now some 5 hours later its still warm to the touch and its 35 or so degrees outside.

Any ideas on what is going on to c
