What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Express 3500’s battery post?

How do I remove corrosion from my Express 3500 car battery?

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 3500 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
