The battery is the main source of power for starting and functioning of your Audi. You must frequently check for corrosion on the battery terminals. Generally, corrosion occurs due to overcharging, the formation of hydrogen gas & leakage of electrolyte. See this slideshow for different reasons for corrosion on battery terminals of your Audi.

1. Reasons for Corrosion
on Battery Terminals of
Your Audi

2. Corrosion is the reaction of
hydrogen gas, which is
released from the acid and
the other particles present in
the air.

3. There are 2 possibilities that
the corrosion occurs on
which terminal-

4. If the corrosion occurs on
the negative terminal,
then it shows that the
battery is undercharged.

5. If the battery is
overcharged, then the
corrosion will occur on the
positive terminal.

6. The battery of your Audi
is very important for
efficient performance.

7. There are many reasons for
corrosion on the battery
terminals of your Audi.

8. Overcharging of battery

9. Battery should be
charged properly and
until a certain limit.

10. By increasing the volume,
there is also an increase in
the pressure of the
electrolyte.

11. Increase in the pressure of
the electrolyte will cause the
leakage of the electrolyte
through vents.

12. Formation of hydrogen
gas

13. The reactions in the
battery produce hydrogen
gas.

14. Hydrogen gas is harmful
when it leaks and produces
corrosion on the terminals
of the battery.

15. The corrosion can occur
either on the positive
terminal or on the
negative terminals.

16. Leakage of electrolyte

17. In the cases of old batteries &
lack of maintenance, the
electrolyte leaks and produces
corrosion on the terminals.

18. If you are using
maintenance-free batteries
then there is less chance of
electrolyte leakage.

19. The batteries which require
water constantly have more
chance of corrosion on the
terminals.

20. Overfilling of
battery

21. The electrolyte or water
should be filled in the
battery up to the specified
marked limit.

22. If the water is filled
extra, then there is a
chance of leaking, & it
will affect the terminals
of the battery.

23. Overfilling is also an
important cause of
corrosion & to avoid it,
seek the service of an
Audi specialist.

24. Always note the age
of your battery

25. If your battery is 5 years
old or more, then there is
more chance of finding
corrosion on the
terminals of the battery.

26. You can simply avoid such a
case by replacing the battery
on time and avoid engine
problems in your Audi.
