Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Intrigue’s battery post?

A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Intrigue’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I clean corrosion off my Intrigue vehicle battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Intrigue’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
