Why Does My Battery Keep Corroding. They will discharge even quicker when small trickle currents slowly drain the battery parasitic drain. Overfilling your battery with battery water can also lead to battery corrosion.
This could also be caused by the alternator- if its overcharging the battery its surely going to leak. By using a mixture of baking soda and water or a battery cleaner spray you can neutralize any acid on the batteries. During heavy rainfall water of acid rain can get under the hood and wet everything including bare metal terminals of battery.
These batteries will gradually and naturally self-discharge.
A typical car battery is made up of individual cells with each housing alternating plates of lead and lead coated with lead dioxide submerged in a sulfuric acid solution. In the past month my battery terminals have corroded about 3 or 4 times. Corrosion on the terminals is due to hydrogen gas being released from the acid in the battery. What should I do.
