I think you're in the wrong group.

I don't think he is.

- ensure the operating voltage/draw in within specs - to make sure the batteries aren't overheating.

- the battery box must be vented - see that the vent openings are clear.

- clean the battery tops w/ baking soda whenever they get too wet on top.

- after complete cleaning of batts, terminals, wires and surrounding materials, (and drying, of course) spray all metal bits with a quality battery corrosion paint/sealant (local auto parts dealers all have it) to protect the metal from contact w/ the acid/air mixture.

At least that's the way we do it on airplanes.... Dave

There is a product called Fluid Film. It comes in a spray can or a liquid. Coat the terminals with this stuff and no more corrosion. It's not available just anywhere. Type it in your search engine to find a place to buy it. This stuff doesn't evaporate.
