Key Features
- Corrosion Removal: Specifically formulated to dissolve and neutralize the acidic corrosion buildup (often caused by battery acid leaks or venting gases) that forms around battery terminals and connectors.
- Improved Electrical Conductivity: By thoroughly cleaning the terminals, the cleaner restores the connection between the battery and its leads, improving current flow and reducing electrical resistance.
- Fast-Acting Formula: The cleaner works quickly to break down corrosion and dirt, making the cleaning process more efficient and minimizing downtime.
- Protective Film: Some formulations include additives that leave behind a protective coating on the terminals after cleaning. This protective layer helps prevent future corrosion, enhancing the battery’s longevity.
- Safe for Metals: The cleaner is designed to be safe for use on metals commonly found in battery terminals, such as copper, lead, and steel, without causing damage or excessive wear.
- Non-Conductive: The product is non-conductive, ensuring that it will not interfere with electrical systems during cleaning, making it safe for use on live terminals.
- Versatile Application: It is suitable for use on a wide range of battery types, including automotive, marine, motorcycle, and industrial batteries.
- Color-Indicating Formula: Some advanced formulations contain a color-changing indicator that turns color in the presence of acidic corrosion, helping users identify problem areas and confirm when the cleaning process is complete.
- Technical Benefits:
- Neutralizes Acidic Compounds: Battery terminals often corrode due to sulfuric acid from the battery reacting with surrounding air, creating sulfuric compounds that degrade the terminal. The cleaner neutralizes these acidic substances, preventing further damage to the terminals and connectors.
- Enhances Battery Performance: Clean terminals ensure a more efficient flow of electricity from the battery to the electrical system, improving vehicle startup, lighting performance, and the overall reliability of the electrical system.
- Prevents Voltage Drops: Corrosion increases resistance at the terminals, leading to voltage drops. The cleaner restores the optimal connection, reducing the risk of insufficient voltage supply to electrical components.
- Extends Battery Life: By eliminating corrosive buildup and preventing future corrosion, the cleaner helps extend the life of the battery by preserving the integrity of the terminal connections.
