What is the white, crusty stuff around my J2000’s battery post?

The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around J2000 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.

How do I clean a corroded J2000 battery terminal?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your J2000’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.

Shopping for Pontiac J2000 Car Batteries

Your J2000 doesn't have an expiration date, but its battery does. On average, auto batteries last anywhere from three to five years. Check your battery regularly and replace it as needed so it doesn’t leave you and your Pontiac J2000 stranded. Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A sluggish engine start, a blinking battery or check engine light, swollen battery case, corroded battery posts, and subpar electrical performance can all signal that your battery needs attention.
