Why is there white, flaky stuff around my E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around E-150 Econoline Club Wagon car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. 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.

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables.
