*** smell and spark
I was going to start my Civic up and all of the sudden the negative terminal sparked and it smelt like sulfuric ***. Then the it just made a clicking noise like the battery was dead and i hooked the jumper up to it and it started just fine. Has anyone else been attacked by the sulfuric *** smell of a battery?

Re: *** smell and spark
You alternator may be overcharging the battery. Warning: the smell may indicate that the battery could explode. Replace the battery immediately and have the alternator tested.
