Soiled battery posts

Recommended Posts

To the mechanical expert forgive me for the simple things I personally discover as I work my new hobby. For example, I just learned why the acid junk accumulates at the battery posts.  If the accumulation is on the positive post the battery is being over charged, if on the negative post the battery is being undercharged. I am assuming that even in the best care for system over and under charging is on going, thus the need to periodically clean the posts and why felt protectors are used and terminal cleaners exist.

 

That said, then if improperly maintained, the posts are constantly corroding and stress is constant on the generator/alternater and battery. H,m,m,m.
