The ACTY gets an upgraded battery - Simple mod

[@Nanashi_MYOB]

Nice vid! The only recommendation I would have made would have been to scrub the battery box and tray with a baking soda solution before painting or etching. Just to neutralize residual acid accumulation so as not to compromise paint integrity.

I didn’t know about that…thanks for sharing.

@MarcoCerqueira No problem, I learned about it when I was doing a restoration on a 63 Nova that had sat for years. The winter temps cracked the battery and let it drain out all over the passenger side engine compartment. A "body tech" repainted the affected area, and it turned out just as bad a year later. All the paint pealed, and the surface rust had spread further. After asking a buddy who did high-end restoration, he asked if anyone neutralized the spilled acid as just washing won't get rid of residue. He recommended baking soda. Sure enough, over 15 years later, no issues! Hopefully, my irksome and dollar wasting mistake helps save someone some coin and headache.

A normal Car Battery has 50,000 STARTS But the New STOP-START Batteries have 250,000 STARTS so when i recently changed my Polo 1.6tdi Battery i Chose the STOP-START Battery even though my Car does;nt have the STOP-START Function.
