Battery leak- 06 TL at 14mo & 17k
I discovered my 06 battery was leaking at the seam where the case and the top cover of the battery are supposedly sealed. The battery tray allowed some of the leaking electrolyte to spill out, so I had to clean/neutralize and recoat the structure below the tray. The alternator output checked ok before replacing the battery with an Optima Red Top 34R. I made a warranty claim at Baranco Acura for the replacement cash value of the battery, which will then invalidate the Acura battery warranty. When I was asked if I really wanted to do this, I showed them the spillage cleanup area and asked them how many Acura replacement batteries will guarantee not to spill and damage the car? Waiting for a check in the mail.
