Battery Terminal Quickie
Posted by Mad Scientist on December 21, 2007
Your electrical system is only as strong as the weakest link, so keep those terminals clean! They’re the most likely part of the electrical system to corrode, so pick up a terminal cleaner and hit them monthly (at least). Even if you don’t see anything wrong, corrosion is building up.
A good fix to ward off corrosion temporarily is to smear the terminals with petroleum jelly( vasaline). it will slow the corrosion process down and still maintain a good connection so your car will start consistently.
