What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my K3500’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your K3500, it's likely corrosion.

This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your K3500’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean a corroded K3500 battery terminal?

Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag. Disconnect the battery cables before cleaning to help avoid the risk of electrical shock. Always reference and follow the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual prior to disconnecting the battery cables.
