How to Clean Corroded Battery Terminals?

[DeReagan]

To properly handle corroded battery terminals, remove the terminals and spray them along with the wire connectors using an alkaline cleaning agent. After wiping them clean, apply a thin layer of grease or petroleum jelly, then securely fasten the wire connectors to the terminals using a wrench. Below are the classifications of automotive batteries: 1. Conventional Batteries: The plates of conventional batteries are made of lead and lead oxide, with the electrolyte being a sulfuric acid solution. Their main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; however, they have low specific energy (the amount of energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life, and require frequent maintenance. 2. Dry-Charged Batteries: The full name is dry-charged lead-acid batteries. Their main feature is that the negative plate has a high charge storage capacity, allowing them to retain the stored charge for up to two years in a completely dry state. When in use, simply add the electrolyte and wait 20-30 minutes before use.
