Battery issue - boiling, smelling like rotten eggs



That happened to me a few years ago and I found that the voltage reg. was not grounded good. I sanded the mounting spot and the base of the reg. That fixed it.
Good luck. I hope your fix is that easy.

Could be a stuck voltage reg. but my guess is the diodes in the alternator need to be replaced.
I've had that problem before and that was the prognosis.

Sounds as if it was overcharging.

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
