If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

How do I clean corrosion off my Savana 2500 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.
