Quick Answer. Overfilling the battery, poor design of the vent cap, age and distortion of the gaskets can all cause battery terminal corrosion. Nitrogen gas is emitted by the electrolyte in the battery. Material in the battery terminals and cable ends reacts with the nitrogen gas, and corrosion begins to form. Keep Learning.
The intense heat can speed up the chemical reaction inside the battery, causing an increase in self-discharge and plate corrosion, which eventually leads to sulfation (crystals forming on the battery plates) and then the battery will become unrecoverable even with normal charging.â.
