TIMELY TIPS A lot of batteries are in pretty weak shape towards the- end of a winter. And corroded terminals and posts certainly don't help the situation. Wash the tions with a solution of baking top of the battery and connec-soda, then rinse with water suggests Hal Wright, Ontario Department of Agriculture extension specialist. Keep the solution away from the vent holes. Remove terminals and clean them inside and out with a soft rag (don't scrape or sandpaper them, because acid might fly in your eyes). Finally, clean battery posts, re-install terminals, and coat all exposed matal surfaces with a light grease. Is It Spring ? ? ? It seems that Spring will never get here.
