What about your jeans? Next time I see you and you are rocking ripped jeans,do I put it down to you becoming trendy or a bad acid trip?

Last week I brought a spare SAFT 6v 100Ah flooded NiCad battery home from my lockup on the bus. It is for my Citroen Berlingo 500E "Electrique" van, which uses 27 of them. As I got off the bus I noticed it had left a puddle on the floor. It's not acid, only 30% potassium hydroxide....
So have I.The way modern batteries fail, they can appear OK then without warning you're in a dead battery situation - and that'll be the time when there's no helpful soul around.
I've had it happen.
i carry one of Banggood's finest starter packs and have had to use it, in fact I used it on a neighbour's car on Friday. Started first turn of the key.
But I'm still not spending the same as a new battery just in-case. I'd rather buy the battery, just in-case
I am a bit spoilt these days I guess - a few running cars, it's not often they all have flat batteries. And an RAC card
They need what we used to build a 30 yrs ago - battery washers. Built a few for washing batteries as they were filled - all sorts of rinses, brushes, drying fans, having to adjust to any and all battery sizes being chucked through it.Bought a new Halford's Calcium battery today. Got to the counter only to find that it had leaked acid which had soaked my coat and jeans
The manager found me a better one. I do hope that it is...
