or brushed off.

indicates battery acid boil over or excessive

the battery off with a strong solution of baking soda and
hot water mixed with a ratio of one pound of soda to

all fizzing stops, which indicates that the acid has been
neutralized. Then rinse thoroughly with clear water. DO
NOT get any of the solution into the battery cells.
