HELP Saltwater in battery box ALBIN 31 TE
HELP need advice. I have three D8 batteries and salt water pump went this weekend and filled the battery box drowning the batteries. Then could not start the engine as it robbed the power out of the batteries it read only 8.3 volts. I pumped out all sea water only to find that it corroded the terminals off the cables. My questions are do I need to replace all my cables aND did I damage the batteries themselves and could I have done anything to the battery charger which was charging overnight? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Re: HELP Saltwater in battery box ALBIN 31 TE
Kwazie, i never experienced this type of situation, can only say what I would do if faced with this problem. Yes I would replace all effected cables. Most companies that manufacture batteries give phone numbers that you can call in on with questions, ask the experts. My guess the batteries will get you out of a core charge when you get their replacements. I do not think the charger suffered damage, might watch it for a while, look at you batterie monitor when you hook up, see if it cycles correctly. Hopeing the best for you. Thanks, Mark.
