speedball1978 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Got a d1200 battery up front this was previously in my 09 Malibu now it sits in my 2000 blazer and went to pop the hood and saw corrosion at the ground terminal????? Wtf...battery rest at 13.0 and sits 14.5 idle on a stock alt no big 3. So what is causing the corroding? Quote

speedball1978 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Posted January 5, 2012 Not that kind of rust...I'm talking green corrosion that has built up into a dome over the ring terminal washer and nut looks like powder which was easy to clean...... Just trying to figure out what causes it Quote
blownengine Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 My bad, I thought you meant normal rust. Not the green stuff.

And thats excitin gto know you have that voltage i am going to be buying a XS battery soon and have horrible voltage as we speak and i have a HO alt. Well my voltage is really good only because I currently have no music but the battery isn't a year old yet I don't have any electrical issues but would like to know why I have corrosion buildup on the ground ( negative) side I've seen it on the positive side but not the ground...

pburke2009 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 i personally would take it to a mechanic and see if they could find the problem if you worried about it that much. or wait till it causes a problem then have to fix it.

Dangrebel Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Itll be fine. Just knock it off with a wire brush the put dielectrical grease on it and call it a day. Quote 1999 GMC Yukon, 6 PSI platform 5 18's, 4th order bandpass by BHE, Taramps,
