KNOW THE METHODS TO REMOVE CORROSION FROM CAR
BATTERY
2
Battery corrosion is a problem that should be
prevented early on in order to avoid ignition
problems.
3
Prevention is always the key when it comes to car
maintenance for a comfortable drive.
4
However, if you encounter a situation where your
battery is already corroded, there's no need to
panic.
5
Follow the below mentioned ways to remove the
corrosion from the car battery.
6
Remove the battery cables
7
To start cleaning battery corrosion, it is first
required to remove the battery cables from the
terminal.
8
Loosen the nut on each cable clamp and make sure
that you remove the negative terminal first,
which is marked by the negative sign (-).
9
Check the battery clamps and cables
10
After you have removed the cables and clamps,
check to see if there is any corrosion on them.
11
If you see any extensive damage due to
corrosion, you may need to replace the cables and
clamps.
12
Check the battery terminal
13
You also need to check the battery terminal for
corrosion and use a brush to clean off any dust
from the terminal.
14
Check to see if there are any cracks in the
battery case and damage to the terminal.
15
Use the baking soda
16
It is important to locate the place of the
corrosion, so that you can easily clean them off.
17
Sprinkle some baking soda on the battery posts,
cables, wires and on areas where the corrosion is
visible.
18
Brush the battery terminal
19
Use a toothbrush or a steel brush, dip it in
water and then scrub the areas where you have
sprinkled baking soda.
20
The reaction of the baking soda and water will
generally dissolve the battery corrosion.
21
Add grease
22
After everything has dried off, put some
petroleum jelly or grease over the posts.
23
This can help slow down the corrosion formation
and make sure you also include all exposed
metals, including the cables, clamps and battery
posts.
24
Hook up the battery
25
When putting the battery cables back, make sure
you place the positive clamp before you place the
negative clamp.
26
Tighten the nuts with a wrench and then you can
replace the rubber boot or plastic shield
covering the positive terminal.
27
Remember
28
The corroded battery terminal can be the cause of
a lot of problems and often times it is
overlooked when your vehicle won't start.
29
Replacing corroded or bad battery terminals is an
easy process that requires minimal tools and
expertise.
30
By replacing your terminals instead of buying a
new battery you could save a fair amount of money
and prevent future engine problems.
