Question

Is it true that you can pour coke on car battery acid build up and that will dissolve it away?

Answer 1

Yes it is true, doesn't have to be coke, but could be any carbonated drink. The more CO2 the better it works. In my opinion sprite works best.

Answer 2

Yes it is true. I work in a repair shop and they have done this many times.

Answer 3

yep, that,s true. the acid in the coke is what does it, it takes the corrode off. so does baking soda.

Answer 4

Yes, but be careful and have a hose ready to flush the concrete driveway or garage floor and your engine compartment.

Use a wire brush first and coke is better than Pepsi, more acid I think.
