<div>I've heard baking soda can neutralize the acid but I'd
probably ask the Google for backup on that.</div>

</div>
<div>A good range for battery terminal voltage engine-running is
13.6V-14.4V. Some modern voltage regulators have temperature
compensation, dropping voltage in high temperature conditions
(when it is easier to charge and easier to overdo it) and
raising voltage in the cold (when they're not as eager to
accept charge). Not all alternators do this, but I just
wanted to explain why there's such a fairly wide range.</div>

<div> Tough to say Steve, I do know that I filled some of the
battery chambers with distilled water because some seemed a
little low, and it leaked battery acid for a few days. whats
the best way to clean that up? I know it's very caustic.
What should the voltage be across the terminals with the
engine running?<br>

<div> Whew!! got it back for now. It started right up
and the terminals where shiny as new, ground as
well. Voltage across the terminals was 13.3 and
climbing. I have the trickle charger on it
overnight, and will give it a good workout tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help!<br>

<div>Try jumping it, but leave the
cables connected for 20-30
minutes before you attempt a
start. Even if you’ve had the
charger on all night. Even with
a dead battery it should start
and run. It may die when you
disconnect the cables, but if it
doesn’t, it should run, but the
battery probably won’t take a
charge.</div>

my tractor battery went dead

Prices started at $300 and and
most are out of stock. Does
anyone have<br>
any good sources for
