I got bored for the first time in months yesterday. I decided to clean and re-coat the Escape's battery terminals because we had used it to jump a vehicle recently. I figured I should re-coat it since the cables dug through the existing layer.
While spraying the CRC battery cleaner on it, a small amount turned pink on the negative terminal. The CRC cleaner turns from yellow to pink if it hits acid. The battery is an AAP autocraft battery that is about 2.5-3 years old. It has a 3 year free replacement warranty.
Is this something I could try and claim for a warranty? Would the store believe me or trust a battery cleaner as an indicator? I can't see any physical signs of leaking.
