Battery Terminals Getting Corroded by 2cribz(op): 8:50am On Feb 13, 2025
My camry battery terminals are getting corroded ,despite using the DIY method. I have been taken short trips here and there and my car has been idle lately since abt Oct last year I hardly drove her out.at first I felt it was the battery,so I got a portable charger,drove a short trip of 30mins and back,I charged the battery from zero to 100 in 8hrs. Parked the car home and within 2days,the battery went flat again,I notice some whitish greenish stuff,tho I replaced the terminals myself but seems I did not get it right. Got to a voka,to compress my tires,was drinking beer while he pumped,as soon as I paid,the camry refused to start.so the vodka now used water to wash the terminals and after that the car started. What's the way forward. Now I can't drive and park in peace for at least an hour.my battery will get drained miraculously. No engine work,nothing done on it since last year June. So what's now happening. The battery is 2years old.as it is now,I'm charging the battery again this morning with my portable charger.

That is the rude shock. Since about 2016 or so, new batteries here in Nigeria die after 2years.

It was in those days that new batteries reached 5years.

Same thing you would see now when you have your vehicle repainted. Now it's almost every 2years I take my vehicles in for repainting.

Don't stress yourself just change your battery and rest.

The battery is still functional and infact 2 of my neighbors have borrowed my battery for at least 2days,i got the battery for 45k in 2023,how much can i sell it,to get a new one. Because mine has suddenly become tokunbo

I don't know ooo. I always watch the green in my battery while counting the months and years it has worked and just holding my breath waiting for the day that I started the car and it did not start immediately. Then I'm ordering for a replacement
Re: Battery Terminals Getting Corroded by 2cribz(op): 2:44pm On Feb 13, 2025
Well thank God i got the portable charger when i felt it was useless,it came in handy. Id make out time to visit the rewire by saturday,my glass is still green,so probably a loose ground wire somewhere.

Na real ride shock grin. I was told the cells of the Battery I bought September 2023 is dead, the battery is just a year 6 months old o grin I tried charging it myself but it was a waste of time. A neighbor give me his second battery (that's very old and showing pink) to try and charge if it will work, luckily his battery started working again while mine that is still showing green indicator refused to work.

Hello guys,nothing is wrong with my battery. I found the culprit. The car door lock back-light is the cause. I drove out early in the morning by 6am,I met the car back-light icon permanently on,tried disconnecting the fuses and all,but the light stays on. So I softly removed the battery heads and will find the switch controlling it.ao if the car is left idle for a whole day,the car lock back-light will drain all the energy inside the battery.

That is exactly what happened to me. The battery was still green yet it did not crank. Battery charger took it charged it for even 3days and brought it back. It started but the very next day it died. And that became the pattern of every battery after that

Ok. That is true. But that would also mean that the battery is not strong for my kids once left the back light on all night after we returned from a trip or so but my car still started the next day.
