Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic pressure (maximum during one heart beat) pressure over diastolic pressure (minimum in between two heart beats) and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), above the surrounding atmospheric pressure (considered to be zero for convenience).
Corrosion on the terminals is due to hydrogen gas being released from the acid in the battery. It mixes with other things in the atmosphere under the hood and produces the corrosion you see on the terminals. Generally, if the corrosion is occurring on the negative terminal, your system is probably undercharging.
Battery Terminal Cleaning. You can have a brand new battery and still have problems if your battery terminals are dirty or corroded. Jiffy LubeÂ® technicians will clean corrosion from the terminals and cable ends, apply anti-corrosion spray, and install felt corrosion protectors to help guard against future corrosion.
