bassinOUT89 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Well my battery fell out of my van. It was in its plastic cover. It hit the ground and it looks okay. It's a BPS dual purpose 120. I use it for my trolling motor on my bass raider type boat. It's supposed to be a maitenance free battery. On the top by the terminals it looks like it has a small drop or 2 of water. Could that be acid that leaked when it fell? Is it safe to wash it off with a water hose? Quote
Chief 2 Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Yes it is safe to rinse it off with water. Once you do just dry everything off and keep an eye on it. You probably will be fine. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted October 27, 2014 Super User Posted October 27, 2014 You should be fine. My old 80 a/h batter fell out of the back of my truck as I pulled onto the road from the ramp. I used it a few more times before replacing it with an AGM battery (lighter, lower A/H for kayaking). It did leak battery acid and I did get burned by some. But the battery was none the worse for wear. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted October 29, 2014 Super User Posted October 29, 2014 Well, they are not designed to use for a basket ball, but if you had to try that, you probably did it with one of the toughest built batteries made. BPS batteries are built by EastPenn Mfg, and they build an excellent battery. As for yours, only time will tell Quote
