  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Golf’s battery post? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Golf car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

Before cleaning your battery, see your Golf owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables.
