In 12 years I have never had an issue with crust forming on my battery terminals on my truck. Today I checked and the positive terminal was covered in white/blue crust.
I cleaned it off with some baking soda and water, cleaned the terminals really good with a wire brush, tightened them back up and coated them in dielectric grease. I always keep my terminals clean, tight, and always use terminal grease.
So what caused this and how can I prevent it from happening again? Also checked the cables and both were visually good and had zero ohms on my meter.
Thoughts?
