Its a good idea to prevent future problems. Just remove from the
battery terminal, clean with a wire brush, then put some grease, or
some battery terminal coating on it and your good to go.


If you wash it off, use a baking soda solution to neutralize the acid.


I think it's the reverse: the crud is alkaline. It can be washed off and
neutralized with vinegar or, more easily, with Coca-Cola.


It is definitely not alkaline!!!!!
