Cleaning battery terminal on '16 CX-5 sport question

[txt990]

Just needed to clean the battery terminal as there is a lot of the acid build up on the negative terminal. After removing the terminals and cleaning them, and putting them back on, will I need any radio code as things get reset?

You might have to reset the driver's side auto-window up/down function.

That's a sign that the battery is aging. You should replace it sooner rather than later as a bad battery causes all sorts of weird problems with the cars and can leave you stranded.

So, it a Walmart Evermax battery about two years in service now. I have another one year left on the warranty. So, just called up the Walmart service center, and they said that they will replace the battery under warranty.
