battery tray protection

bbetterton · 11-23-2007, 10:08 PM

OK Yesterday I spent about 3 hours with various anti corrosives and a wire brush on a drill cleaning the battery trays on my CC. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck using one of those DIY bedliner kits to coat the trays and other aluminum in the battery area.

If it were my car, I'd remove the entire rear body and all parts to make it the bare frame. I'd acid wash the frame, get Duplicolor Truck Bed Liner, and apply it liberally to the entire rear frame area.

Preventative maintenance goes a long way. Once or twice a month, sprinkle baking soda all over the battery compartment and batteries to neutralize any acid. Rinse off gently with water.

I beleive they also make a plastic tray that goes under your batteries...just a thought but bed liner is a better solution.

Does clubcar use aluminum for the battery trays to? Can battery acid eat through aluminum?

Yes and yes, but it takes a lot longer. Sulfuric acid takes out just about anything.
