Blue Green Powder on Battery Connector
I was replacing some of my headlight bulbs when I saw some stuff on one of the connectors of my battery. It is some type of blue green powder around one of the connectors? Does anyone know what it is and should I be worried?

Battery Corrosion Crystals. Purchase some cheap Battery Cleaner, And Some Cheap Battery Sealer. Follow instructions for cleaner, then inspect (TUG lightly for the time pressed) on the cable leads and make sure they are not corroded through and broken(Rarely happens) then apply a small amount of sealer. and you should be absolutely fine. that is a very common occurance with hondas. Nothing to be Worried about Unless the Cables Are Rotted thru.

Welcome to the boards, BTW. It's great having techs around.

You can also apply a light coat of petroleum jelly to the terminals(after they've been cleaned) and it does the same thing as the sealer stuff. I've used both with great results.
Don't fret. It's very common.
