Is it safe to wash the undercarriage with pressure washers?
To me that's the same as asking if you can charge it in the rain.

Hahaha, yeah I've washed it with manual self service pressure washers and haven't got any issues, I was wondering more if it's a problem using those underneath the car, where the car battery is located. I usually washed my previous cars undercarriage twice a year, one after winter to remove possible salt deposits and one during late summer.
I understand, it was a joke. I always use the most extensive programme at the car wash and it also cleans the bottom. I hear a lot of noise and see steam coming from the bottom. I never thought it could be harmful.

The under tray is full of holes (for drainage?) maybe the water was spraying through those to the underside of a hot battery, but the battery itself is sealed from the elements, plus don't forget the car was is probably using hot water on the underside of the car to get the muck off!
