Could be a stuck voltage reg. but my guess is the diodes in the
alternator need to be replaced.

Sounds as if it was overcharging.

Subject: IML: Battery issue - boiling,

Hello All...
Today I took my 64 Crown Coupe on a 120 or so mile freeway trip. On the
return trip I noticed a rotten egg smell while driving, I was sure it wasnt
my car and pay much attention to it.
10 or so mile later after getting home I opened the hood just to check
if everything was OK. I found the battery smoking from the filler hole area
(with the covers still on) and that smell again. I could hear it boiling
inside as well, now some 5 hours later its still warm to the touch and its
35 or so degrees outside.
Any ideas on what is going on to c
Regards,
