The most damaging factor that causes automobile battery corrosion is actually on the battery terminals. Hydrogen gas is admitted by the sulfuric compound inside of your car battery, and very little of this gas is actually vented out through the grill or other openings of the hood. While most cars with a modern battery do not experience this issue, it still does occur and can cause a large amount of corrosion to build up on your battery terminals. Typically, the problem starts when you have green, white or blue material begin to build up on your battery terminals. If enough of this material builds up, it can cause your battery terminals to lose their ability to transfer the charge from the battery to your engine. In order to avoid having this problem, you should remove the corrosion by using a toothbrush and a battery terminal cleaning solution. Do not touch the solution with your hands as it can be extremely toxic.

corrosion inside the wiring sheath. That plus diesels need alot more amperage to crank so wherever you have corrosion,the amps are gonna spike causing extreme heat.

yep, sodey pop will make em fizz and soften to clean.
don't know about that pussy cherry coke stuff, might work, I just used cokey cola on battery terminals and love bug windshields.

why would someone pour a sodie on batteries when a box of baking soda costs like $.50 at the dollar store and does a much better job and doesn't dry up all sticky

Also spray your Battery terminals with CorrosionX.

I tell you what, when your battery is dead in a hotel parking lot, a football game, at hunting camp, in the woods, most anywhere, I bet I can find a sodey pop or a cold drink with some acid in it, clean terminals, wipe off sticky with paper towel, terlet paper, socks or draws, hopefully get it started before (in most cases) you can even find baking soda.
