Bugger!

If any of the electrolyte drained out inside the back of your bus you should deal with that really fast.

Rust never sleeps, especially on amphetamines.

cheers, DL

Yep toast here as well.

Since it is only 3 months old, I would be trying for a replacement from where you bought it.

350RRC: Don't worry, I nutralised the spilt acid with a mild alkaline solution, then flushed it all out with the garden hose.

Nice1guv: When I went an bought a replacement yesterday the bloke at Repco suggested that, but it has obvious external damage so they won't cover it.

bi carb soda solves the acid broblem with the acid leak.
i reccomend hot water and pour the first mix in , then do another,
not that i care about your car, but this is how i fix aircraft batt leaks.
i am interested to know why both batts went flat,
if they are the same age, well and good, buy two new batts.
but i suspect if they were connected in parallel, they are both 'kangaroo edward'

Bi carb in water is what I used to nutralise the acid.

Both batteries were in parallel, but the other battery seems to have escaped without damage.

I am actualy starting to think the may be an electrical gremlin in the landy as well, there seems to be an intermittent discarge from the battery, might be a small short in the system.
