Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Marquis’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 Marquis 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.

How do I clean corrosion off my Marquis vehicle battery?

Regularly inspect the terminals and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water, a wire brush, and a rag.
