Default Battery leak..

I dont even understand how it happened.. My laundry room is also where my cats eat/shit.. and when you walk in to the right.. we used to keep bleach there.. it was a brand new bottle and then randomly one day it started to leak.. so i took everything out completely clean up it up.. and a week later i put my car battery in the same exact place (the batter was only a month old) a week later theres battery acid leaking all over the ground.. like honestly how could that even happen? Its in the AC just sitting on the ground how does it start leaking.. Also how do i even begin to clean that up.. the battery must way 50 pounds and its wet... BLAH..

You need to place a hunk of wood underneath the batt before you place it on the ground.

It fucks up the charge (I was going to use the word discharge, but figured not enough of the regulars on TR are mature enough to read that word)
