[QUOTE="jarance, post: 594997, member: 21"] The white thing is the oxide material. it is caused by moisture and the charging of the battery. They are water soluble. Just use hot water (not boiling) and pour on it and it will dissolve the oxide. Oxide is a bad conductor and will prevent the flow of current. You need a good contact to achieve high current to drive the starter which will sometime draws about 200 amp during cranking. Tips: coat the battery terminals with grease after tightening to prevent oxidation from occurring. [/QUOTE]
