white powder around battery but not on terminal. Is the battery bad?
Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Changgeng on March 14, 2021
Car cannot start today in California mild weather. I tried to jump start but failed, maybe the jump starter need a bit longer for charging. What’s weird is I noticed the white powder around the battery but not around terminals. Previously I noticed that around terminals for other batteries.
Does this mean there is a leak in the battery and I should replace it ASAP?
One Answer
No it won't hurt the battery life. A quick fix for this is a penny placed beside each post to gather the corrosion.
