TMaxxTim Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Well I had to replace a bolt on my battery connectors today. My car died twice on me because the bolt was so corroded I couldn't tighten it so it would loosen and the car would lose all power :( I sanded the battery connector down and the terminal down on the cable, any spray or goup or something I can put on it to prevent corrosion from happening again? It did it to me this morning and the acid was sizzling!!! AHH! Luckily I got the new bolt tight enough to lift the car with so I won't be having the car die on my any more hopefully!

SC4Million Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Why don't you just replace the batt. and connectors? It's not real exspensive and would be a more perm. fix to you problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherDon Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Any auto parts store will sell battery corrosion preventative, or you can order online by doing a search for a product called NCP-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDOwen2 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 You can also get green and red felt washers that are treated to absorb and neutralize battery acid. Any auto parts store should carry them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Witt Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I would recommend a good coating of vaseline. It will prevent future corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
