Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Power Ram 50’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Power Ram 50, it's likely corrosion.

This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Power Ram 50’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean corrosion off my Power Ram 50 vehicle 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 Power Ram 50 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
