CRC Battery Cleaner with Acid Indicator — 12-pack 11 oz aerosol, fast-drying corrosion remover

CRC Battery Cleaner with built-in acid indicator is an aerosol formula that removes corrosion and reveals acid contamination in battery compartments; this listing is a 12-pack of 11 oz cans.

Keep battery terminals and trays clean and readable with a purpose-built aerosol that combines cleaning power with a visible acid indicator. CRC's 05023-12PK delivers fast removal of grime, sulfate and light corrosion while leaving a residue-free finish. The integrated acid indicator helps technicians and DIYers quickly spot areas affected by acid leakage so they can prioritize inspection and repair.

How does this cleaner reveal acid damage?

The product includes a color-change additive that reacts where acid is present, making affected areas visually obvious after spraying. This visual cue helps you identify damage that may not be obvious to the naked eye and decide whether further cleaning, neutralization, or battery replacement is needed.

• Color-change indicator highlights acid-affected spots immediately after application.
• Sprays into hard-to-reach crevices and battery tray seams for full coverage.
• Useful for both lead-acid and sealed batteries where leakage is suspected.

What kind of cleaning performance can I expect?

CRC's solvent blend dissolves sulfate buildup, grime and light corrosion without leaving heavy residues that attract dirt. The formula is designed for quick contact time and rapid evaporation, which speeds up service tasks and reduces the need for extended drying or wiping.

• Fast-drying aerosol for minimal downtime between service steps.
• Effectively loosens corrosion and sulfate deposits for easy wiping or rinsing.
• Leaves surfaces ready for inspection, testing or application of protectants.

Is this safe to use on automotive and industrial batteries?

The cleaner is formulated for battery terminals, trays and surrounding areas on cars, trucks, forklifts and similar equipment. As with all aerosol cleaners, follow label instructions—ventilate the area, avoid sparks, and prevent contact with eyes and skin. Do not spray onto energized terminals; disconnect batteries when safe and practical.

• Suitable for automotive and many industrial battery maintenance tasks.
• Follow standard safety steps: disconnect power and wear PPE as recommended.
• Not intended as a long-term corrosion inhibitor; use protectants afterward if needed.
