I received batteries in 1999, 2000, & 2001 for the same van from the dealer because they all lost power. Now I need a new wiring harness for that van because acid from those batteries leaked into the current wiring harness which will cost me over $1000. The dealer has been doing the service on my van and I have not been informed of the problem of acid leaks into the wiring all of those years. In 2002 I bought a batery from kragen auto parts. I don't know why batteries in the van lose power and have to be replaced every year. Van defect? possibly. Now the dealer says that because there is so many miles on the van, they aren't responsible. But they must have know that there was something wrong since 1999. I have a 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager. I feel that the present milage has nothing to do with the battery problem that still exist with the van, and that the dealer was and still is well aware of this problem.

Battery blew up when vehicle was stationary in process of starting. The vehicle was sitting in driveway and had been shut down for about 3 hours. The battery blew off part of the top with a large bang. If a person had been working on the engine they would have been injured. No fire occurred but smoke did appear. The vehicle was not abused or otherwise caused to be damaged by the driver prior to this happening. The battery has a Chrysler P/N 4727258 and appears to be original. Advise if there is a need to save the battery for further checks by anyone.
