Corrosion on battery terminals and metal parts inside the generator enclosure.

Safety first: Wear eye protection and gloves when cleaning corrosion. Disconnect battery before cleaning.

Steps:

• Neutralize corrosion: Mix baking soda with water and apply to corroded battery terminals and affected metal surfaces. Scrub gently with a wire brush.
• Rinse and dry: Wipe clean with water-dampened cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Protect terminals: Apply dielectric grease or battery terminal protectant spray.
• Check charger voltage: Ensure the Eaton battery charger is not overcharging (float voltage around 13.2–13.6 V). Replace charger if voltage is excessive.
• Address moisture sources: Improve enclosure sealing and ventilation as needed.
