I've been having problems with a relatively new battery (1 yr old). And at the gas station yesterday it refused to start. After finally getting it home and tearing into it....

One of the fill caps on the battery (not a sealed type) had vibrated loose and the battery water/acid had leaked out. I don't know how long the acid has been sloshing around back there, but what a mess! Other than applying some baking soda, anyone have tips on how to clean up a little battery acid?

Thanks! I'll have a new battery in her in a couple of days.

I've used baking soda successfully. You should thoroughly wash the area after that to remove the salts left over from the battery acid and baking soda.
