Cleaning Battery Terminals
I need information on how to clean battery terminals. I have looked through the forums but haven't found any information regarding this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are chemicals available specifically for the purpose. A good battery shop or auto parts store should have them. A wire brush helps to knock loose the corrosion. There are wire brushed available specifically shaped to fit inside the wire terminals and around the battery posts.
Vinegar works pretty good to clean up battery terminals. A mixture of backing soda and water can be used to neutralize the acid that may be on the terminals before cleaning them. Just be VERY carefully you don't let any get into the battery thru the caps or it will ruin it.
After you have the terminals clean there are preventative sprays to coat the terminals. Vasealine works pretty good for that too.
