## Discrepancy

AT 38000 FT WE WERE DIVERTING AROUND WX NEAR.  WE HAD LARGE LIGHTNING FLASH & SHORTLY AFTER C APTAIN SMELLED ACRID SMELL & THEN THE COCKPIT STARTED TO GET SOME SMOKE. BEFORE WE GOT MASKS ON THE SMOKE SCENT WAS GETTING STRONGER.  WE DECLARED EMER & GOT VECTORS & DESCENT TO CLOSEST FIELD.  FIRE DEPT MET US & SAID NO VISIBLE FIRE.  PARKED ACFT.  ARRIVED AT ACFT DISCOVERED A STRONG ACID SMELL IN COCKPIT.  SUSPECT COMING FROM SHIP BATTERY.  LIGHTNING STRIKE INSPECTION IN PROGRESS.   LIGHTNING INSPECTION COMPLIED WITH 05-51-19-2 NO DEFECTS NOTED.  R & R MAIN BATTERY DUE TO STRONG ODOR IAW 24-3  1-01-4 & R & R BATTERY CHARGER IAW 24-31-02-4 OPERATION S NORMAL.
