Default Re: Negative Terminal Clamp Corrosion

I'd hazard a guess & say it would be caused by the two dissimilar metals being the lead battery post & the battery terminal, which obviously isn't lead, being in contact with an electrolyte, (even water can be a weak electrolyte).
There's probably some form of leakage of gas, or even the battery acid, between the seal of the battery casing & the battery post.
