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

Use Dielectric Grease. Far batter Than Super Lube
:)
I have tried no less than fifty compounds. Anything without sulfur works great. Most are stupidly overpriced.
Dielectric grease does something special. It does not liquify and slop all over the top of a battery.
The comment about gas escaping between post and lid is most correct. For many years of permanent sealing use those felt ring post washers but work in a quantify of silicone dielectric grease into the felt.
From the school of frustration and hard knocks :)
