  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my Spectra’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 Spectra car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
