Cleaning a Corroded Battery
Disconnect the cable clamps from the battery (negative/black first and then positive/red). Reconnect the cables to the battery securely (positive/red first and then negative/black). Any looseness in the cables can prevent your car from starting so tighten them securely.
Step 1
After loosening the cable clamps and battery holder, remove the battery from the vehicle.
Step 2
Begin by cleaning the entire top of the battery of dirt and oxidation using baking soda and water.
Step 3
While the battery is removed from the vehicle, clean the cable clamps until shiny with the 535 or 536 brass brush. Recommended speed: 15.000 rpm.
Step 4
Re-install the battery in the vehicle. Lightly coat the connections with grease and re-attach the clamps.
