Is anyone else having a problem with the battery cable ends corroding ---mine corrods at the negative side and needs to be cleaned about every 3 weeks ----why would this be happening so often...

a defective battery can do that a small leak can cause it to corrode while it is being used. maybe you need a new battery but i could be wrong

you do know that coca-cola eats away battery acid.

Another old trick is to place a penny next to the terminal...the copper collects the corrosion...replace the penny every couple of weeks.

Just buy some battery corrosion protectant it come in a spray can, its red and sticky when sprayed on, have to be careful though, it may affect grounding, but works like a charm

That spray stuff does wonders, just make sure to spray it off thoroughly with water!
