Battery terminals
Question : what is the proper way to clean battery
terminals and leads that aren't making a good connection? Last week, after charging my battery when it was flat, I noticed a lot of that bluish-white salt stuff built up in the negative battery lead. I cleaned it off and reattached the lead, and then as I was doing up the nut with the spanner, I got a massive spark discharge and burning bits of stuff flew off. I take this to mean that the lead is not making a good connection to the terminal, and the spanner caused a connection when it must have come into contact with the terminal properly. |
