March 24, 201412 yr comment_2965 What is the proper set of products and instructions to use for a rusty battery box, in particular those deep well battery boxes internal to the car where water, acid and rust has collected over the years, but the metal is still solid. Thank you.

March 24, 201412 yr comment_2966 Our System Sampler is enough to do 12.5 square feet which should be enough to coat a rusty battery box. The overview of the process can be found HERE. The complete directions for KBS Klean, RustBlast, and RustSeal can be found HERE. Please let us know if that helps and if you have additional questions.

March 24, 201412 yr Author comment_2967 OK, thanks, so just use the standard 3 step process? No additional products required due to the battery acid? No topcoat necessary?

March 25, 201412 yr comment_2968 The only thing we might suggest is to get 3 (versus 2) thin, covering coats of the RustSeal down just to make sure all areas are coated with 4 mil dry film thickness.

March 26, 201412 yr Author comment_2969 I'm still a little worried about the chemical resistance of rustseal to battery acid if the battery leaks again. The chemical resistance chart says "not recommended" for battery (sulfuric) acid. thanks Link to comment https://success.kbs-coatings.com/topic/1675-battery-box/#findComment-2969 Share on other sites Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

March 28, 201412 yr comment_2970 If you are going to soak the battery tray in sulfuric acid, it would not be recommended. But casual contact will be fine as you can see from the chart. Coating a battery tray is a very common application and we have never had anyone contact us to tell us that the RustSeal failed in this sort of application.
