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

How do I clean a corroded 960 battery terminal?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your 960’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables.
