Well, today I decided to get a new battery for my ladys Camry. It's been doing this behavior where once out of the throttle the display dims down abd the fans go down in power. I figured for just 50 dollars it's worth a shot to see if this corrects the problem. I lug the 40 pound battery from the car into the store which was quite a walk. Good exercise though. Get to the battery area. The one I need is on the top shelf of course. Well the very first one has a sticker stating it was made in Saudi Arabia. Which I've heard that those batteries have been shaky as far as quality goes. Well... little did I know just how bad they were but soon found out. I lifted this battery up to move it to get another one behind it. Liquid flew out from the right side if it. I flinched backwards as best I could. Three drops hit my right forearm. I was hoping that this was just random water. The burning feeling in my arm told me that wasn't the case. I quickly wiped it off my arm against my jeans. Put that badboy on the floor. I had to move another battery to get to the one I wanted that actually had a handle on it. A little spooked I lifted it with no flying acid out of it. I got the one I wanted with the handle on it that was not made in the house of Saud.
The guy at the counter was nice and asked if I wanted to go to the bathroom and get some water run in my arm. I told him no I'm fine. Just a minor burning sensation and that I'd be all right. THANK GOODNESS this acid didn't hit me in my only GOOD RIGHT eye. I have only one good eye now due to my multiple sclerosis. Kind of scary in just how close that came to almost happening. Literally 4-5 inches from my face. So, attention all Walmart shoppers.... beware of acid discharge from Valuepower batteries made in Saudi Arabia. If you need one from the top shelf... bring safety glasses
Ohh and the new battery did fix the problem with display dimming and fans dropping. Which is a good deal.
