How to Check for a Battery Fluid Leak
Hi! This is John on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this video clip, we will take a look at checking for battery fluid leaks. As you take a look at your battery in your car, the big black box, you want to check the integrity of your battery. If there are any cracks in it, if there is any, looks like moisture, coming out from it, it could be battery acid so you want to be real careful. If you check for leaks, you want to make sure that again, there are no cracks. If there is, you will definitely need to replace your battery. Another thing that you want to look for is you want to check and see if there are any bulges in the side of your battery.
