Curing the battery odor and all odors FOR GOOD!!!

After reading all about the common issue surrounding the 2nd Gen and the nasty smell that somehow all of them have, I decided to try and tackle the problem first hand. When I was searching for my 2nd gen a few weeks ago, I noticed they all had the same smell to them. That smell is referred to as a “cow piss” or “horse piss” smell. I just referred to it as musty. Anyway, I came across the post below and read every single line and looked at every link.

After looking into it further, I decided I would order the replacement tubing from modDIY and order a leather punch set to make the holes in the tubing and to replace the factory tubes. As I waited for the tubing to come from China, I thought about another way to do this. At the same time, the previous owner tore the floor carpet so I had to replace that. That got rid of some of the musty smell but it was still there on a hot day.


As a car enthusiast, (current prius, Hellcat challenger, SRT Grand Cherokee owner), I follow a lot of detailers on youtube to learn ways to keep the cars clean, especially the hellcat as its my track car and show car. When I was watching one, they always mentioned about using an ozone generator to get the smoke smell out of a car. I did some more research on how they work, what they do, etc. The problem was some of them were upwards of 600.00!! According to everything I read and watched, the machine had to emit 10,000 mg/h or more to have a real punch at getting the smell out. I wasn’t paying that when I got the car for almost nothing. I went to amazon and found one that had a rating of 10,000 mg/h and was only 100.00! I figured why not try it and see what it does right? Heres a link to the machine I used:

I tried looking to rent one but in NJ it’s very hard to come by for under 300.00.
