Why is there white, flaky stuff around my 325es’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 325es’s battery terminals is known as corrosion.

If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

How do I remove corrosion from my 325es car battery?
