Bob F Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 What is the most effective method of removing corrosion from battery terminals? Scrub them with a wire brush. Spray with WD40. Wash with a mixture of Baking Soda and water. Rub with vaseline. Quote
Wedger Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 Mmmmmmm funny that one but I suppose if you read between the lines Quote
Adam F Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I suspect the difference between 'most effective' and 'best' may be different? Quote
TomBettle Posted February 9, 2009 Report Posted February 9, 2009 I suspect the difference between 'most effective' and 'best' may be different? I was off the same opinion.... Based on aving that slight confusion it took me an extra 10 seconds to make my guess. Tom "guess" being the operative word. Quote
Bob F Posted February 9, 2009 Author Report Posted February 9, 2009 OK, I'll put you out of your misery. I boobed!! It's actually wire brush and baking soda. Which is why the votes were split 50-50. Mix one part baking soda with four parts water. then brush onto the terminals and leave to fizz away for 10 mins. If the fizzing stops and there still a bit a corrosion left, add a little more water and scrub the remainder off with the wire brush. Clean off with a paper towel until dry and then coat the terminals with vaseline. That's the end of the battery quiz for now. If you are still up for it, we'll now move on to some basic electrics/electronics and using a multimeter, next. Quote
