I remove, scrape, paint and re-install the battery tray at least twice annually and the problem re-occurs. The acid crap (white, crumbly stuff) even got under the battery holder and rotted that vacuum line that goes "who knows where". When I put the car in storage in November it was relatively clean and I ran a battery tender all winter. Just pulled it out today and had to pull the battery, clean and paint again. If I had been running it I would expect a bad alternator that was over charging the battery, but it was not run all winter. I'm wondering if it is a bad or incorrect battery. PS - I stored my roadster the exact same way, with the original battery, and it is perfectly dry with zero corrosion. Anyone have suggestions??
