  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Outback’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 Outback 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.
  • What do I do about corrosion on my Outback car battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Outback’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.
