To keep or replace?

Shandog777 · 07-20-2020, 06:56 AM

I am getting mixed reviews on this one.

I just did a repair call at a home today on an EZGO RxV Fleet 2011. It has 4 -12v Trojan batteries and all were in very good condition except the back one and it had a lot of corrosion on the positive post. They were all low on water, but it was dry and I have seen worse!! I cleaned it and it has a few rungs corroded off the top. I cleaned well and put it all back together and it is working fine. Here are the tow questions:

1. Keep it or suggest replacing?

2. This terminal had a Sony Bluetooth radio connected to it. Could that have led to the corrosion?

replace the cable for sure.....and put a coat of battery protection spray on all of the connections. such as CRC's....you can find it at any auto parts store.

I definitely replaced the cable. It was awful! I will grab some but it seems okay to me. They are about $250 a battery so it would be nice if he could not replace right now.

The corrosion will take a little while to come back. I would use the spray on all the terminals. I do that with all my vehicles and have no corrosion problems.
