How long is a car battery good for?

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

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Vanden Plas 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.

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