Why is there white, flaky stuff around my C3500’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your C3500, it's likely corrosion.

What do I do about corrosion on my C3500 car 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 C3500 owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
