  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Beetle’s battery post? If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Beetle, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Beetle’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my Beetle vehicle battery? Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Beetle’s electrical system running smoothly.
