Best Way To Clean Off Corrosion
Henry Smith, Hay River, Northwest Territories: "Many people don't realize that corrosion on battery posts and cables is water soluble. You don't need baking soda or any other additive, which just makes a mess. And don't put pennies on top of the battery unless you believe in leprechauns. Here's the best way to clean off corrosion:
  "Use a stiff brush and a pitcher of hot water. The corrosion will dissolve when you pour on the hot water and start working it with the brush. Use an air hose to blow the post and cables completely dry and then spray-paint the assembled cables and posts with aerosol spray paint to seal them from the air. This will prevent corrosion for a long time as long as the connections are not disturbed."
