Put the clamps on corrosion.Dear Half-Mast, At one time I heard it was a good idea to put a light coat of grease on the terminals of our vehicles' lead-acid batteries. Supposedly, this helps prevent corrosion and makes the clamps easier to remove. Is this true? And if so, what kind of grease is best to use? SSG SSG abbr. staff sergeant J.M.K. Dear Sergeant J.M.K., It's true. TACOM TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (US Army) TACOM Tactical Communications TACOM Tactical Command TACOM Tank-Automotive and Armament Command TACOM Theater Army Command TACOM Tactical Army Command TACOM Tactical Army COM still recommends putting a light coat of GAA GAA Goals Against Average (Hockey) GAA Gaelic Athletic Association GAA Gravure Association of America (Rochester, NY) GAA German Agro Action GAA Global Aquaculture Alliance GAA Gay Activists Alliance on your battery's positive and negative posts. However, there is a new silicone compound available that works even better than grease. When applied, the silicone runs down around the battery post and terminal to completely seal out moisture.
