Will your car start if you have corrosion that looks like grease on the battery terminal?
It could start but if it is indeed corrosion you probably want to clean it off. Somtimes people will lightly apply a form of anti-corrosion grease to battery terminals to prevent corrosion. Your typical signs of battery corrosion look like greenish or white stuff that will crumble away easily when disturbed. You probably don't want to touch it though a bottle of water and some old rags (where some protective gloves and/or wash hands thouroghly afterwards) that you can throw away, should clean it up. The battery terminal affected should be removed and cleaned to a shine with a wire brush for best results. Be careful working around battery terminals as not to short the battery it could be very dangerous. But yes battery corrosion will definitly cause a car to not start. I don't recall seeing it look like grease, that is unusual. Hope this info helps.

Will a bad battery connection or corrosion rob your car of horsepower at higher rpms?
Though your alternator is constantly supplying power to your car while it is running, an incomplete circuit could cause your car to 'wind down.' Try pouring some coca-cola onto your battery cables where they connect to the battery to remove all that crud that collects there over time. It works, and looks pretty cool! I love science :D I hope that helps you out.

Problem with battery post corrosion you clean them but problem reoccurs and your car wont start until posts recleaned Is there a product to prevent corrosion or is this a symptom of another problem?
There is a product that looks like flat washers made of felt that you can fit over the battery posts that will prevent corrosion (don't remember what it's called, but available at your local auto aprts store or Walmart). You can also try putting a dab of grease on the battery posts and terminals after cleaning. The grease will work best for you to help eliminate corrosion's. The point of putting grease on the terminals is to keep oxygen from coming in contact with the terminals and also help with keeping acid off the posts. When you clean the terminals use baking soda and water to neutralize the acid which will help for future corrosion
What is a battery cable puller and where can I get one?
A battery cable puller is a small hand tool specifically designed to pull a stuck battery cable connector from an automotive battery terminal without damage to either the terminal, connector, or your hands. Although there are a few different styles and brands, they generally all work the same. There will be two thin "feet" that slip beneath the cable connector, and a screw device [looks much like that used in a "C"clamp] which when turned pushes down on the top of the battery terminal, thus pulling the terminal clamp upward off of the tapered terminal. Battery cable/terminal clamp pullers can be bought at most auto parts supply stores. Very occasionally, some auto supply stores [those that loan tools] will loan it to you.

93 525i wont start when you turn key you get one click what do you check?
Start with the battery terminals, see if they're corroded (between the battery post and the terminal. It doesn't matter WHAT the outside looks like). If that's not it, it could be that the battery has insufficient charge to operate the starter. LAST on the list would be the starter or the starter solenoid/relay, but have it tested before you replace it.
