[QUOTE="tommydh, post: 8201051, member: 640628"] All standard lead acid batteries will corrode withage if not properly maintained. The biggest thing is to apply the grease or Vaseline after terminal installation. Check all connections for tightness. It cant hurt to run a second ground from neg to a solid point either. Depending on vehicle some manufacturers skimp on those. My tundra and four runner bot had a 8 ga wire from neg to the inner lip on fender that would come loose I always replaced wit a 4 gauge to same place but allowed a lil more slack to ensure wire not pulling from crimp. Its corrosion from the acid. Check the water levels in your battery [/QUOTE]
