Good morning my car gurus, I've noticed some powdery/whitish substance that is forming on my battery head... What could be causing this and what should I do? |

kayceekleans: Sulfation process Take off battery terminals and have it thoroughly cleaned up. You can grease it up to prevent more corrosion after cleaning |

GAZZUZZ: You forgot to add that he should rinse the dissolved salt on top of battery terminal/body properly with water, else there will be current drain across both terminal from the dried salt which is a conductor of current. Happen to me, though I dissolved mine with baking soda. My battery started draining unusually till an electrician discovered the short circuit across the top of the battery. |

symbianDON: Why? Does the sulfation process mean that the battery is getting bad? |
| Re: Foamy/whitish/powdery Substance Forming On My Battery Head by symbianDON(m): 9:38pm On Oct 20, 2016 |

mayor2013: Really? Gazzuzz is this so? I had the issue with my battery about 4 months back and after the mechanic applied some kind of lubricant, I haven't observed it till now. My battery is "follow-come" though... not like it matters, I guess. |
