So, last week my car battery cracked while on the highway and spewed all of the sulfiric acid all over the place. It even burned a 4 inch diameter hole in my wheelwell that looks like a fucking shotgun hole.. sexy right?

Anyways.. the batt was 6 months old. I took it back to Kragen's and they were like WTF. I dont know if we can warrentee this.

I literally had to call the company who imports them from denmark to make sure they would...

either way... pretty crazy. Just thought I'd share. Doubt anyones ever heard of a battery CRACKING.

I wonder if you have a claim to any damage caused to your engine bay from the acid - as a result of the faulty battery casing (which it sounds like it must be!)

^^^ call a lawyer, that shits not safe, the company you claled is probably trembling now.  Just call up a lawyer and discuss what you could do with it.  Thats most def the best call

yeah totally. he will sue, they will offer an out of court settlement totaling .06%of what they spend on toilet paper a year, which will just barley cover legal fees. in the end the only "winner" will be the lawyers.
