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

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Swift, it's likely corrosion.

This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Swift’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals.
