What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my 535i’s battery post?

The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your 535i’s battery terminals is known as corrosion.

Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your 535i, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

How do I clean corrosion off my 535i vehicle battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your 535i owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables.
