Zach,
You can also brush your teeth with Baking soda....doesnt make you smart though....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I am to cheap to replace a perfectly decent battery with a sealed one... When it dies I will think about it. I remove the battery once a year and mix up a batch of about 30% baking soda and warm water. Put it in a generic spray bottle and shake it all up till the soda is mixed in. Spray liberally in the whole area... Wash out with water (spray bottle again) then wipe and blow it dry...touch up paint any exposed metal and add a battery acid mat for under the battery... I wear rubber gloves and goggles when I do this... Battery acid will eat clothing away...just a drop is all it takes, so wear junk clothes. Rich |
