My charging/Battery system lamp came on a few days ago and there after that I noticed a strong acid smell coming from the engine compartment. I figured it was coming from the battery and sure enough the area around the top caps were wet. I applied a meter to the battery and at first with the engine running it appeared to charging at 12.5 volts. After a few more seconds it went slowly up to top out at about 16 volts (The meter reads no higher) This is my work car (My Jeep get about 14-15 mpg) and I really have to keep repair costs down so what possible could I do to further troubleshoot and reapir my Neon. P.S. Engine Trouble codes at present 35,46 & 42 Thanks In Advance
