If you see any corrosion on the
battery cablesor terminals, remove
the cablesfrom the terminalsand
clean with a wire brush. You can
neutralize the acid with a solution
of baking soda and water. Reinstall
the cableswhen you are done
cleaning them, and apply a small
quantity of grease to the top of
each battery terminal to help
prevent corrosion.
If your battery has a
cover/shield, make sure it is
reinstalled after the battery has
been cleaned or replaced.
