Re: What happens when a car battery blows up?
1987 gmc van going down the highway, 10 am Saturday, 500 miles from home on the second day of our vacation, when everything went dead. <br /><br />Opened hood, case was blown apart and acid everywhere.<br />By 11am we were in the NAPA parking lot, and by 2pm we were back on the road with a new alternator and battery.<br /><br />NAPA guys did all the clean up, repairs, and a little extra for us, and stayed 2 hours past closing time to get it done for us.<br /><br />THANK YOU to the NAPA guys.<br /><br />I sure hope this never happens to one of my boat batteries when I'm sitting next to it.
