Default Re: Stopping Corrosion on Battery Terminals

FWIW:

As far as stopping corrosion on Battery Terminals for life of the battery, or even any & all Model A wiring terminals, one totally maintenance free solution is "Kopr-shield" by Thomas-Betts.

Years ago, Eastwood used to sell either a 1/2 ounce or 1 ounce bottles for just a few bucks which could last a Model A owner an entire lifetime.

Now the smallest bottle one can find is about 8 ounces which costs about $19.00 per bottle -- it could be bought by a club & divided to provide once in a lifetime corrosion free connections -- or Ebay has deals now & then.

Great for Model A headlight connections & Model A (+) grounded connections -- never experienced a connection failure after using same.

My oldest son is in the wireless telephone & wireless computer tower building business for years where even in a heavy salt water coastal environment, one wants to climb a new "high & slim" tower "once" to make wire connections & never have to go up again.

They use Kopr-Shield & never climb again.

Have it on my riding lawn mower batteries, vintage tractor batteries & Model A batteries for years -- clean terminals, apply Kopr-Shield generously , & you are done.
