What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Camry’s battery post?

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

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

How do I clean corrosion off my Camry vehicle battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Camry’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.
