The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Matrix’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time.

If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

How do I clean a corroded Matrix battery terminal?

To help extend the life of your battery, you should routinely inspect and clean the terminals using a baking soda and water mix, wire brush, and rag. Be sure to disconnect the battery cables before cleaning and check your Matrix owner’s manual for instructions on how to do so.
