Wow! Scary..

I've been using battery tenders for years. I have left them on my cars for 6+ months while I've been deployed overseas. Never had an issue. I have always vented everything before starting, so maybe that's helped...

Make sure you clean ALL the surrounding area and in particular pay attention to where the battery fluid drains through the chassis and down below so that it doesn't corrode/rust underneath.

Alex I have poured about 5-6 gals of water mixed with Baking soda all over the Battery area. I hope that is sufficient.

Sorry to say Paulie remove the tray itself. Clean that out... but the next time it's on the lift (and soon I hope) take a look at the drain holes and get that stuff off of the chassis or it will rust it out;(

Tell me about it Yeah just go the extra mile... saw a car a couple of weeks ago with rust underneath and traced it all the way back to the battery. Nasty stuff.
