Can You Apply Grease to Battery Terminals?
1 Answers
Yes. Applying grease to the terminals can prevent corrosion. If solid oxides are found on the terminals, rinse them with hot water to remove them, ensuring the conductivity between the terminals and the connectors is not affected. After cleaning, wipe the battery surface dry and apply grease to the terminals and connectors to prevent oxidation. Here are some tips for maintaining a new vehicle battery: Drive Regularly: Leaving a vehicle parked for extended periods can gradually deplete the battery, potentially leading to a dead battery over time. Avoid Using Electrical Components After Turning Off the Engine: When the engine is off, the vehicle relies on the battery for power. Prolonged use of electrical components can drain the battery, resulting in failure to start the vehicle. Clean the Vehicle Battery Regularly: During daily driving, it is necessary to clean the vehicle's battery. Replace the Battery Periodically: Car batteries have a limited lifespan, typically around three years or over 100,000 kilometers. Over time, the battery's performance will decline, so it is important to replace it promptly.
