Battery Terminal "Coating"

OkieRocket · 03-25-2023, 12:21 AM

As usual, another question for the Racers that know their stuff....

I just added Dual-AGM Batteries to the Trunk of my Race Car (an Old 1970 Olds 442 Super Stock Car that I now "ET" and "Nostalgia" Race for fun). I have a question about Battery Terminal "Coating" for the Terminals to prevent corrosion over time.
I have heard there is someone that makes a "clear" Coating/Spray? or? that I can apply to the Terminals that doesn't "make a mess" or become unsightly...Don't really want gooey Red, Purple of Yellow "ooze" all over the Terminals, etc.
Does anyone know of a "clear" product like this that they could recommend? I'm asking in this Forum because I always receive good, solid answers here....really appreciate the help.

Never had an issue with the agm battery’s doing that. Probably not needed

Thanks Keith

. Haven't had any experience yet with AGM's.

The little install kits in the auto parts with the red and green anti corrosion discs, come with a pack of dielectric grease for this purpose.

It will leave it greasy and may not be something you want to deal with.

I would think in a race car the battery would be charged and serviced enough you could stay on top of this without any grease or sprays.

I have seen Optimas corrode over time if neglected,

I retired from AT&T

We used this product on all electrical connections including bare copper before installing crimped on lugs. Works Great!
