  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Tempo’s battery post? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Tempo car battery.

  •  How do I clean corrosion off my Tempo vehicle battery? 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.
