This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my 318ti car battery? You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals.
