This is not the sole reason for degrading electrical reaction between the plates and the solution. Often the over flow would dispel much of the acid over time cuasing significant build up on the terminals. Battery plates exposed to air will immediately sulphate due to electrolyte loss. This was the biggest culprit in the old style acid type batteries. The next eveolutions was adding silica gel beads to dissolve into the acid rendering it to become more of a gel like solution and not being so spill friendly. The pH scale runs from 0-14 for those that want to know...7 being neutral above 7 is basic below 7 is acidic. Regards, RickieB[/QUOTE]
