How to Clean Car Battery Terminals | Best Tool

[@JoeGarofaloII]

I would also recommend putting dielectric grease on the terminal posts and the terminal rings to help prevent that corrosion and keep a good water tight connection. Been doing it on my Jeep for years and even after off roading and driving through water the terminals never corroded and looked brand new

Hi Kyle...I sell and install batteries at Batteries Plus Bulbs. I frequently use that tool and show people how to use it. We test batteries and battery charging. I often find that they are OK but one or more conections are dirty and lose. I won't sell a new battery when I find this and will clean up the terminals and tighten at no charge.

Very cool Matt!

A clean battery terminal is a happy battery terminal

Hey Kyle, love your vids. Your quality and camerawork just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the good work.

Thanks Jacob!

Very helpful. I appreciate it 😎

[@jackcollins2344]

Do you ever put any dielectial grease on posts before putting terminals back on?

[@KyleSVT]

No I never have (seems kinda messy). I don't mind cleaning them more often

[@C-NoteTheCyberpunk]

I tried doing this but, I'm still getting no power from my car, I even bought a brand new battery and still getting absolutely no power when I turn the key. Even when I try to jumpstart it, I get no power, and no dash lights or anything. As a fellow 99-04 Mustang SVT Cobra driver, Do you know what could be the problem??? (I have a 2003 Mustang SVT Cobra)

[@KyleSVT]

I would check your grounds, also check the connection at the power distribution box as well as at the starter

[@robertserrato3596]

What happens if you disconnect your battery and you don't use a code saver. Will that mess up your computer

[@KyleSVT]

Nope you are fine

[@classicDaNN]

More jeep vids! I think I have watched them all now haha

[@KyleSVT]

Haha more will be coming. Thanks for watching them!

[@jackcollins2344]

Just wondering what your thoughts are on that. Thanks buddy.

[@KyleSVT]

yea np brother!

[@StreetDrivenDaily]

don't they have some kind of spray as well to prevent that? after cleaning it of course.

[@KyleSVT]

yes they do sell some stuff

[@Carson-xz3nu]

Kyle - Thank you! Now I know why my car isn’t starting every time. So I’ll use this info. I surely appreciate your helpful video. I watched one where the guy said to slather on Vaseline mixed with a little baking soda (after the terminals are clean). I think it’s maybe a less expensive method than using a spray, unless you’re a mechanic, would use it regularly and not misplace the can as I would. 👀
