I’m pretty new to electronics, batteries, etc on boats, so I apologize if I sound dumb, but while filling up my new boats gas tank, I spilled a small amount of gas on one of my 12v Interstate batteries. The gas spread over the top of the battery and down into the tray it sits in. It also got on a a few of the connection wires that run to the battery charger etc. I immediately cleaned the spill with dry paper towels.
my question is... is the boat safe to start again once the gas is dry? Should I be taking any precautions such as buying a new battery or of that such? Should I use water and soap to clean the battery off again before I start the boat? Is there any risk of fire?
thanks!!!
