If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Most parts stores have a little display of ketchup packet size pouches. Brake slide grease, di-electric grease, white lithium, graphite, other goodies.
.88 cents type deals Yepp...

All that crap works about as good as Kroil.
Can't stop a bad battery from corroding.

What are those felt washers I see on the battery posts? I don't what they are soaked with, but they work for awhile. Green on the negative and red on the positive. They are large enough such that even someone who is clueless might manage to get the jumper cables hooked to the correct terminal.

As does dielectric grease. That's what I use on all electric connections Dielectric means non-conductive. You should be using conductive grease that you can find at your local electrical supply store.

Dow Corning silicone grease from a tube that's probably about 30 years old. Don't know if it's still available, but it's worked for me for a long time on boat and automotive batteries.
Increasing my post count so people will buy stuff from me

Whatever you use- - - -apply it to the OUTSIDE of the terminals- - - -after the electrical connection is clean and tight. It's supposed to keep acid vapors from getting to the connections. I've known a few dummies who slather the Vaseline, wheel bearing grease, or other stuff onto the battery posts and then install the cable. Channeling Forrest Gump's Mama- - - - -"Stupid is as stupid does!" I'm one of those dummies. I installed lead acid battery systems and the rectifiers to keep them charged far 20 years. We wire brushed all the connections, applied conductive grease on everything including the contact surfaces. When you tighten the battery connections most of the grease is squeezed out and you have a good connection that will last until the batteries are worn out. These batteries lasted many decades. When they switched to aluminum terminals and buss bars we used the same conductive grease but instead of just wire brushing it once we did it twice. Wire brushed once, applied conductive grease and then wire brushed again. You should use the same with all ground connections too. I've been using conductive grease on all my vehicles since 1961 ad never had a bad connection or corroded terminal.

New battery... always install new felt rings, too.

New battery... always install new felt rings, too. I'm pretty sure those washers soak up and neutralize battery acid. I noticed recently that one of 2 year old batteries in my Dodge diesel was leaking acid around both posts. I went to the place where I bought them, a "technician" checked the leaking battery and told me that nothing was wrong with it. I told him that he might as well start removing the battery because he was going to replace it. The manager agreed that a leaking battery post is a factory defect.

I use those felt washers that go over the post and under the clamps. then coat terminals with that little spray can of stuff that turns kind of a red color.
