Battery Terminal Corrosion Protection
Posted: Thu May 13, 2021 6:12 pm
I have had great success [in preventing battery terminal corrosion] using LANOCOTE to coat battery terminals. The LANOCOTE is a corrosion inhibitor made from sheep lanolin. It neutralizes acid.
I also use rubber battery terminal covers to keep dirt from accumulating on the coated terminals. Keeping the battery terminals coated and covered also minimizes voltage leakage from battery acid deposits.
ASIDE: My marine batteries are flooded-cell vented batteries and have removable cell caps. Removable caps allow evaporation of the [electrolyte] in the battery which in turn carries out acid that gets deposited on the battery terminals. This causes much corrosion.
