While my car was in the shop getting the HG done, I asked them to check my electrical system because I've gone through 4 batteries in the last 3 years. They told me that my STB was crushing my battery causing acid to leak out. The STB IS touching the battery, but I wouldn't say that it's crushing it. Is this BS?

uh i doubt it. never heard of it before... maybe it is because you have a bad alternator??? or maybe you have bad connections somewhere... take the brace off to find out.

perhaps is it a cheap battery, if not i got the optima blue top battery bc its dry cell and no liquid maybe that could help you
