Excellent demo. Two suggestions: 1) as noted: Remove negative battery clamp first and positive battery clamp last. Reconnect positive battery terminal connector first and negative battery connector last. 2) No grease b/t the battery posts and clamps because we want clean dry electrical mating surfaces for low resistance. Grease/coating/spray only over secured terminals to prevent corrosion.

I was told the negative cable is the first to remove and the last to install for safety and on some models you must use a ecu memory saver otherwise the throttle values will be lost and needs to be reset some radios need to be recoded not sure if it applies to Toyotas.

You can use scotch brite to clean the terminals or metallic toothbrush. with contact cleaner and for anti corrosion vvp grease (vaselin based waterpoof)and mil c 85054 amalgard or mil c 81309! -_
Good job! regards from Greece from corolla g6 vvti. 2001

My experience is when you get corrosion on your terminals its time for a new battery. Dont bother cleaning and putting back the old battery. The corrosion will most likely come back. Plus you could get stranded somewhere with an old dead battery.

I went through the full discharge process because my battery did not charge more than 86% ( tinyurl. com/y2qnlwnz. I 'fully' recharged it, but it peaked at 88% before it stopped charging. Would be nice if I could fully charge this battery.

Great video. Very informative. Do you know if this method works on a 2016 Corolla? Specifically the spraying of the battery. I'm not worried about the battery, more like Toyota switching parts and plugs from 2010-2016.

oh man the OCD in me wont let me use those sprays on the terminals. It just made that nice new battery dirty. I just rub a light coating of dielectric grease on mine being careful not to get it on the battery.

after the baking soda bath, I use WD forty. just spray it on the terminals let it stand for a few minutes then the corrosion will wipe away with a paper towel or you can wash it away.

same way! nice! the only little difference, i put 1: 4 ratio of baking soda solution (water) in a bottle. but i guess, i am going to use your technique more often now. :-)

Didn't think I would learn anything about changing a battery, I was wrong. Great video. I never thought of using water and baking soda to clean corrosion. Thanks, Gary
