Like other metals of the Audi, the battery terminal is also corroded with a lead-acid battery. Thus, the battery corrosion occurs in two terminals such as when the battery is undercharged, it will corrode the negative terminal and the overcharged battery will corrode the positive terminal. The following slides define the common causes of battery terminal corrosion in Audi.

1. Audi Battery Terminal Corrosion: Causes And Solutions in Powell

2. Like other parts of
the Audi, the battery
terminal is corroded
with a lead-acid
battery.

3. When the battery
temperature
changed, the gases
are produced from
the battery through
vents.

4. If these gases mix
with other elements,
then it will cause
corrosion around the
battery.

5. In an Audi, the corrosion generally
occurs in two terminals such as:
• Undercharged battery will corrode
the negative terminal
• The overcharged battery will
corrode the positive terminal

6. The below points define the common causes of battery terminal corrosion in Audi.

7. Leakage of
electrolyte

8. Ignoring the battery
service or not
replacing the old one
will cause electrolyte
leakage.

9. Electrolyte leaking
is accumulated
around the battery
terminal and leads
to battery corrosion.

10. Production of
hydrogen gas

11. When the leaked
hydrogen gases react
with other gases, it
will cause terminal
corrosion.

12. In these cases, the
corrosion can either
occur on the positive
or negative terminal.

13. Overfilled
batteries

14. When the water is
filled in the battery,
it needs to be filled
up till the markers.

15. If the water is filled beyond its
marked level, then you will notice
the issues like:
• Water is leaking from the vents
• Affects the terminals
• Lead to battery corrosion

16. Chemical
reactions in the
copper clamps

17. Copper clamps are
used in the car for
connecting the
battery to the cables.

18. When the battery
pressure increased,
the copper reacts
with the leaked
sulphuric acid and
causes corrosion.

19. Overcharged
battery

20. If the battery of your Audi is
overcharged, then it will cause
issues like:
• Increase the temperature of the
battery
• Make the electrolyte expand in
volume.

21. Therefore, corrosion
formed on the
terminals and
decreases the
battery efficiency.

22. Age of the
battery

23. Aged battery is the
most common cause
behind the corrosion
on battery terminals.

24. Using the same
battery for up to 5
years is producing
corrosion on the
terminals.

25. Solution for corrosion

26. If you are staying
away from the home,
use soda water to
remove the
corrosion.

27. People living in
Powell can consult
with a reputed
mechanic to replace
the battery
terminals.
