Default Sulfur type smell coming out of vents

I'm getting this bad smell coming out of the vents when I turn the AC on, it almost smells like sulfur. I've searched and a few people have mildew smells but this doesnt smell like mildew. Any ideas before I take her in? Thanks

Default figured it out YIKES!!!!!

Turned out it was my battery leaking. Man when I took it out it was very hot and expanded. Lucky for me the local autozone had another one in stock. New battery and the smell is gone.
