Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Transit Connect’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Transit Connect 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.
