Did the ammeter show a high rate of charge? I would think the voltage
regulator is suspect.

Subject: IML: Battery issue - boiling,
smelling like rotten eggs
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
Regards,
