Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Express 2500’s battery post?

To help extend the life of your battery, you should routinely inspect and clean the terminals using a baking soda and water mix, wire brush, and rag. Be sure to disconnect the battery cables before cleaning and check your Express 2500 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
