conductive grease

[Pantelis Giamarellos]

Here in Greece we sometimes follow a different approach.

Coca Cola (or Pepsi Cola) cleans the battery contact pretty easily without
any absolute requirement for rubbing them with a sand paper or wire brush.
It manages to dissolve the oxidation residues from the battery terminals and
cable contacts and on the same time the sugary substance it contains
somewhat seals the contacts again.
If you do not want to trust your battery terminals on Coke sugar (remember
that Coke light has no sugar) then you can wait until in dries and then use
some ladies' nail colour to cover the terminals.

Take care
Pantelis

P.S. both my land rovers and the RS2 have been treated with the Coke and
nail colour recipe and everything is OK for some years now.
