What y'all are looking at is my 2 golf cart batts in their rack. The one on the right has a growth on the bottom of its rack underneath the strap, it's actually pushing the strap outwards. Pic 3 is the strap undone and showing this growth. I'm assuming this is aluminum oxide, but why is it there? The strap is plastic, so not conductive. The batts are in battery boxes, not touching the aluminum racks. The last 2 pics are the eaten up cable which I will replace. I chipped this stuff away from the rack and vacuumed up the fuzzy crud.The batts are grounded to the frame of the boat, along with everything else. What's happening here and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
