Yes, of course, I agree, but I figured Eyeteeth didn't have that, so Petroleum is better than nothing, unless as you stated, there isn't a tight clean connection.
So, Eyeteeth, get some dielectric grease. Use it on both ends of the battery terminals. I also use it in light sockets especially outside ones that tend to get corroded. And while you are in the auto parts store also get a battery terminal cleaner (uses wire bristles) to clean both inside the cable connection and outside the battery terminals. And use a regular wire brush to clean the contacts at the other end of each battery cable.
