Battery Terminals Cleaning

[Tiger Small Engine]

There are battery cable / posts brushes available to clean the round connections . Is there a brush available to clean the flat terminals ?

Sandpaper and a stiff wire brush.

What is a flat terminal? There are top post and side post versions far as I know........

Not round

Solution of baking soda and water will boil the crud out of the cable ends. Just stick the end of the cable in the solution.

just use a brass brush, or some emery cloth...

That is a full-size side post automotive battery, I think he is referring to a half size top post lawn equipment battery like this: (Walmart)
