If it wasn't in the bucket, I'd be replacing carpeting in the front trunk and cleaning up any damage to the paint underneath from the acid that boiled out - it took a lot of blue shop towels and baking soda to neutralize and clean up the mess in the box - had to strip and repaint the hold-down, but that was nothing compared to what could have happened!

This same thing happened to my car, before I bought it. It now has a similar battery box, along with acid-eaten carpet and etched front trunk. The acid also dripped through one of the wire pass-through holes into the interior passenger footwell where it damaged the carpet there too.

Do yourself a favor and get one of these battery boxes.
