[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 387740, member: 13599"] this is what I am thinking - - - I know for a fact that the older style car batteries that have removable caps so you can add water as needed, will spitter and spatter minute amounts of acid while they are being charged and heat up. Also, spitter and spatter during a rough ride in a boat. This would account for an older aluminum boat exhibiting this type of corrosion in one isolated area. the newer style, totally closed batteries don't have an avenue to eject steam, contaminated air or spitter or spatter. So, the newer boats using the closed cell batteries, should not have any of the mentioned issues. But, I would like to know why the battery tray in our vehicles rust out so quickly with the closed cell batteries ??????? I am [i]NOT[/i] a student of electrolysis, so I can not comment on how electric current can or can not react with aluminum and other metals. [/QUOTE]
