Why is there white, crusty buildup on my F-250 Super Duty’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your F-250 Super Duty, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals.

How do I clean a corroded F-250 Super Duty battery terminal?

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 F-250 Super Duty owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
