Hey guys,

Just getting annoyed as my battery terminals are constantly getting corroded. Every four months or so the car will not start up unless I file them. I know this may be due to the alternator giving to much charge, I did keep the same alternator from the de motor but this shouldn't be a problem. Anyone know any tricks to stop this from happening?

Thanks.

did you hit your terminals with something last time you put the battery cables back on?

Sometimes doing this breaks the seal underneath the terminal allowing the gasses out which corrodes your terminals.

^^ Too true!!! open the terminals up with a screwdriver to make them fit over rather than beating them down with something!!!

      The way they do the test you would be very lucky to ever hit any cell that isn't aiming at 14.7 This was my result... Really not sure what's going on there!

      I have a projecta one.  A proper trickle charger can be left attached 24x7, that's what the trickle bit is about.

      With an electronic boost controller, there are settings available to limit overboost.

      Ah ok, my tuner did adjust something on the percentage cycle on the boost controller, instead of running at 40% the tuner put it on 20% to compensate for the overboost, can't remember what it was. Not duty cycle don't think, and told me if it keeps overboosting, it's going to be something else. I think he mentioned the turbo actuator.

      Which trickle charger does everyone use? I'm going on holidays in the future, and last time it was left for a couple weeks off twice per time, and don't want to keep doing it to damage my battery so looking to have something hooked up to the battery which connected to the car, as I need to keep my immobiliser system on. If the battery goes flat it will mess up my security system (already happened once) I was looking at the following, so can have someone turn it on every couple of days and run it overnight then turn it off)   https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/noco-noco-genius-5-battery-charger-6v-12v-5-amp/648987.html?cgid=SCA01060203#srsltid=AfmBOoq4kzQgrm1YHSZT0DzaCwVwwOcevgu0TSDcUvrNeOqI-0S5xJ1C&start=1   https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/century-century-cc1206-xli-12v-1-3-6a-9-stage-battery-charger/693006.html?cgid=SCA01060203#srsltid=AfmBOoq4kzQgrm1YHSZT0DzaCwVwwOcevgu0TSDcUvrNeOqI-0S5xJ1C&start=30   though these don't say anything about trickle charging, don't want it to overcharge the battery.
