Just use a Coca cola.
its pretty much over once a car gets to that stage, even if you give it a 3000 dollar body job , the rust will return. Best advice is buy a newer car and underspray it every summer. Corrosion is like cancer - you need to remove it and protect non-damaged areas against it with undercoatings. Corrosion in a battery compartment can be dramatically reduced by saturating the area with baking soda dissolved in warm water.

Corrosion.
The major constituent of car battery acid is aqueous sulfuric acid. Ideally, it contains sufficient water to attain the maximum electrical conductivity for mixtures of H2SO4 and H2O, about 40 % water. Battery acid may also contain other substances, usually corrosion inhibitors of some kind.
The paint forms a seal and prevents water and air from reaching the metal surface and prevents corrosion or rust from forming. A crack in the paint would allow water to reach the metal and cause corrosion or rusting beneath the paint surface, out of sight until the rust becomes visible. A road chip thrown against a car's paintwork is a likely cause of pitting on a car - which spreads and causes rust holes in the car's bodywork unless treated as soon as possible.
It will help, but a much better solution is to remove the battery cables, clean the connections and then use baking soda to neutralize the corrosion.
Clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water.
A mixture of baking soda and water. Rinse with clean water.
The car battery is NOT dead, it is suffering from the effects of corrosion!
If it is spilled in the trunk, start by mixing baking soda with water and pouring it on the acid spill to neutralize it.
A very thin smear of Copper Grease over the Battery terminal / Cable end will help pevent corrosion.
Don't fix it...replace it.
No, it is battery acid corrosion caused by leaking fumes. Clean it off with water and baking soda which will neutralize the acid.
Yes. The battery post only has to have very little corrosion to make you car not start.
It was difficult taking the leads off the very old car battery; the buildup of corrosion was extreme.
Baking soda and water. It will neutralize the acid. After removing the acid clean the post with a battery cleaning tool you can buy at any auto parts store.
If there is corrosion on the terminals then you will have a bad connection that will not transfer power from the battery to the starter. It is just like disconnecting the cable. Electrical current cannot flow properly through the corrosion,
