 terminals to improve contact and prevent corrosion.


	


Whilst I am definitely NOT an expert I would say that

ordinary grease would prevent corrosion it will not

enhance conductivity.



What you really need if you are so concerned is "graphite

grease' which conducts and reduces corrosion. But if it

heats up and melts and flows then you will have a bigger

problem.



I would have recommended on assembly making sure

everything is really clean and bright. Doing up the

bolts/terminals nice and firm and then applying some

Vaseline to the outside. Just a smear to keep the moisture

and air out of the interfaces between the connector.



HTH from a non-expert !
