Hi
Bit of an odd battery question....
I have today purchased a new battery for my car, however upon transporting it home I had to brake sharply & abruptly and the battery toppled over in the boot, where upon a smallish quantity of the what I presume is the electrolyte liquid escaped. I stopped as soon as was safe and stood the dam thing upright and wedged it in with the spare wheel.
Now upon examination the two cells nearest the breather from which the fluid leaked seem to be low, I am reluctant to simply fill them with distilled water and loose the acid concentration, I was wondering if a better solution would be to pipette some of the acid from the old battery into the new?
Thoughts?
Kind Regards
