Does the appearance of corrosion point to a larger problem with the battery? There's neverbeen a corrosion issue before this and now, it's ridiculous. Could this point to the necessity to replace the batterry and not simply clean the corrosion?
...
Thank you both. The battery is 2 years old, the corrosion is on the positive terminal only, and there appears to be no leakage from the battery itself. Oh and there is no rust.
Aside from cleaning the corrosion, what causes the battery connector to go? In other words, did the bad connection cause the corrosion or did the corrosion cause the damage to the connection?
Thanks in advance,
Sandy
