I win the award for.....

most corroded battery terminals!!! And there only a few years old!!!
I guess cause of the Corrola’s proximity sensors and the battery always being used?

 

Some people want over $40 for a simple terminal connection. I’m using two of the same that I got for my 4R. $10!!!

 

How about spraying some cleaner on it first?

Terminal could possibly be fine under all that crap.

 

No thanks. I’m not spreading that acid all over the place.....gonna wear gloves for sure....

 

I just changed her oil. My first time dealing with the newer filters. I like it. Good for 10,000 miles!! OMG I can’t believe it!!!

 

little baking soda and hot water and any acid will be neutralized and not an issue. Grab an old toothbrush and get in there and clean them, I have used Vaseline lightly on the terminals to prevent corrosion going forward.

 

I like to scrape it into a salt shaker and sprinkle it on my pancakes.

 

I keep my battery in that condition so that when I am camping i just scrape a little in my coffee in the mourning.

 

The best part of waking up...

 

All you need is a can of coke and wire brush to clean those up. Then spray the terminals with metal protector.

 

Rather pay twenty bucks...The ground is rusted bad. There’s no saving these...And I’m not wasting any of my Diet Cokes on it...

 

Leave him alone he'd rather spend the money.

 

One of the few BG products that I actually believe in using...

I also spray them with Amsoil metal protector which is basically a dry lube. Never have corrosion. The stuff also works great on MTB and dirt bike chains.

 

we assume the battery hasn't been replaced? those are nasty.....

 

Around two years old. Terminals were replaced too.

 

After: the terminals were copper so it speeded up the corrosion process. These should last a lot longer...

 

So you didn’t get rid of the corrosion?

 

hello again. I bought a certified Toyo that came of the east coast which had some rust along the frame, exhaust, muffler, etc; cleaned and took care of that issue. Short of a boat or tractor, I have never seen that extent of rust/corrosion. My dear wife drives a '13 Highlander and the engine compartment is pristine, minus the bugs and dust.

Yes sir, your won the prize for.....

 

Not if you don't spray them with some type of dry lube or protectant.

 

I used dielectric compound......Can’t you see the terminal eBay pic of the replacement for ten bucks?
