Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Atlas’s battery post?

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

How do I remove corrosion from my Atlas car battery?

You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your Atlas owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
