Why is there white, crusty buildup on my R8’s battery post?

This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your R8’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean a corroded R8 battery terminal?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your R8’s electrical system running smoothly.
