[ausev] Battery terminal corrosion

[Gary Ellis]

This is moisture and galvanic effect.  All of your conductors and connectors
should be copper or brass (with the exception of the battery terminals,
which are largely lead).  In addition, I find that NoLox (grey paste in a
white bottle, found at HomeDepot, etc.) is excellent for all connections.  I
use it in all the heavy 2/0 cable lug connections and on all the battery
terminals and I haven't seen any corrosion in 3 or 4 years now.
