Blue Powder on battery terminal?
Does anybody know what causes the blue powder substance form on the positive terminal on the battery. My car never used to have this problem but now that i drive something else daily and my car sits for weeks at a time without being driven this blue **** is growing off my battery terminal.

Corrosion. Clean it up with some baking soda/water solution. Find some of that battery terminal anti-corrosion stuff and coat your terminals to prevent this from happening.

I have another trick to stop that old hot rodder trick. Place a PENNY in the center of you - and + posts. The penny will attract all the corrosion to it and not the post. In about 6months the penny will turn to a green blob . Scrape the old penny off and intall a new one.. 1 cent fix how can you go wrong with that price.

Step 1: Remove terminal connectors from battery.
Step 2A: if you have a pool table use your battery as a free cue chalk maker and rub the stick against the terminals...
Step 2B: if not your **** out of luck and have to waste that chalk and clean it up with a battery brush, autozone sells these cool little steel brush thimbles for the battery terminals you can keep handy.
Step 2C: You can get new battery cable connectors at autozone too, some nice painted ones with quick release levers on them... they roxor.
Step 3: Grab a beer or soda, or whine cooler, game on!
Step 4: Return the terminal connectors to the battery.
