What is the white, crusty stuff around my Dakota’s battery post?

Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

How do I remove corrosion from my Dakota car battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals.
