Tips for cleaning your car battery

I had an hour talk with an auto technician in my neighborhood. He shared these tips with us.
• Never drive with a corroded battery posts. It is a sure way to bring your day to a grinding halt.
• The first step towards a clean battery is the removal of your battery terminals.
• You should always remove the negative cable first.
• With your battery terminals off squirt your corrosion removal fluid on the battery posts and terminals.
• It will start to foam. Let it do this for a few minutes, then rinse off with a little water. Brush away stubborn build-up with your brush.
• If you are using anti-corrosion disc, install the red disc on the positive post and the green on the negative. Re-install your battery terminals, positive first.
• Corrosion eating fluids are nothing but baking soda and water so feel free to make your own.
