Yes the battery being cracked and leaking acid could be a huge problem. Replace it, and if you are running 2 batteries, preferably get 2 identical batteries at the same time. Car batteries are wet cell, or some are gel cell, but not dry cell. Interstate and Optimus make good ones for car stereo purposes, but kinda spendy. I would probably recommend a deep cycle battery. I've had good luck with the yellow with the black tops from wal-mart for deep cycles.
