there is a plate under the battery
but the way the adapter mount kit is it sits really close to the battery and rubs.

All the rubbing caused some chemical reaction I guess and started to mess up the mount.

 

Lets see a picture.

 

 

 

there is not even a puncture in the battery so I'm like WTF

 

Your car did the electric slide

 

hittin corners w/ 25mph limit sign @ 50mph will do that


also
my tach is screwing up
@ 75mph I'm at 5k

It didn't do that b4

It looks like electrolysis to me. Add more grounds.

 

No boosted, I haven't got a chance to put my new one it yet. It hasn't arrived. The clicking is normal, it is the cycling. The more humidity in the air, the more your compressor is going to click on and off. This is so the evap core does not freeze up. My old one still clicks on when I push the A/C button, but I think the clutch isn't engaging. When it got too hot out, it would produce air that had a touch of coldness. It started to make a loud ticking noise at idle, and that's when you know they are screwed Correct me if I'm wrong

ELECTROLYSIS: THE SILENT KILLER
electrolysis is 1) Chemical change, especially decomposition, that is produced in an electrolyte by an electric current.1 2) An electrochemical process by which electrical energy is used to promote chemical reactions that occur at electrodes.2


Electrolysis:
[1] A method by which chemical reactions are carried out by passage of electric current through a solution of an electrolyte or through a molten salt.
[2] Movement of electricity through a substance which causes a chemical change in the substance or its container.


Electrolyte:
In automotive batteries, it is a sulphuric acid and water solution. It can be any solution (usually an acid) that will conduct electric current. The acid reacts with the battery plates (usually made of lead) to produce direct current (DC) electricity.


ELECTROLYSIS=eectrolytic corrosion:
Electrochemical corrosion causing the electrolytic removal of metal

 

I sprayed some of that battery acid corrosion retard on it and the bolt turned orange like the can said it should. Its supposed to stop the corrosion process from continuing.

Hopefully it helps from spreading and eating away anymore metal

 

ITs more oxidation than electrolysis.

I trust anything a chemist says.

 

Vega, Why don't you clean it with a wire brush or something and then take a pic.

I paid $100 more and have 100k more miles...

 

do i need to change the mount or will it be cool??

It only got to the one bolt. There is residue else where but I sprayed a lot of that acid/corrosion cleaner on it.

I'll take another pictures later tonight.

 

I say spray that dude down with some brake cleaner and put the battery in the trunk.

 

Electrolysis is using a current to decompose something. Example water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Or a battery cell where one of the two elements (solid metal) goes to an oxidated state (lacking electrons) and the other does the reverse. That results in a electrical charge. (i hated learning about chemical cells, Organic ftw )

Organic solvents wont do much against corrosion. Better using a solution of baking soda and water to clean it (and the battery). Then sand it down and paint it. Vega it may be a wise thing to upgrade to a sealed battery like a pc-680

 

It's always good to have a chem pro on our side
