Batteries and Vaseline
Anything wrong with the old habit of using Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) on battery terminals to protect them from corrosion?

I was surprised and disappointed to discover corrosion on the terminal of a lightly used AGM battery. (Positive terminal only)
Corrosion around the terminals of any type of lead acid battery is caused by gases leaking out around the terminal. A thick coating of grease around the terminal will prevent this. Clean the entire outer battery with baking soda and water and rinse with water before applying the grease.
