Can one safely (without ruining the battery) clean a car battery by spraying it with terminal cleaner (the stuff that foams Pink if acidic) and then waiting a few minutes to spray it off with a garden hose?
My battery had been leaking and causing the battery securing bar to corrode. So I took it all off and out of the engine bay. Sprayed it and wire brushed it and few times and then gave it a fresh coat of Rustoleum BBQ High Heat paint. The battery levels all looked good but I wanted to clean off any corrosive acid from the battery top before reinstalling everything. Thanks.
