Electrical Coatings - Snake oil

[Monkeymaster]

Hello
What do you all use to coat your battery terminals, the wire eyelet to the frame/block and other electrical connections, to prevent corrosion and or bad connections.
Seems like the battery connections today, do not stay "connected" like years past, maybe a cheaper type of lead on the posts?
Anyway, I am having to pull the battery leads way more often on ALL my tractors, lawnmowers, and even truck, most times they do not have any visual corrosion or "white growth", a few seem to have a hard glaze on them.
Looking for something like copper coat or equivalent to prevent having to pull and clean every other month.
Would rather buy a "coating" and not those red and green tractor store battery post rings, since I want/need to coat the frame and or block where they bonding eye goes and any other electrical terminations ect.

Thanks

I use the Ironguard Battery Saver from Case IH, PN B505515. Definitely holds on for a few years & does a good job keeping corrosion at bay.

Plain old grease works, if you don't mind the mess. No ox id is better but costs more.

Agree plain old grease.

Products such as this are better than plain grease or plain No-Ox-ID . https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/permatex-anti-seize-lubricant-copper-226-g-0383776p.html

Its where the lead battery posts meet the plastic battery case, they leak battery acid. seal that gap, no corrosion? Grease, no-x-id or what ever?

I use Permatex battery terminal paint on the battery and NoAlOx for grounds.

One thing agco did on sisu engines in the terra gator grounds is coat them in silicone they had a white glob of it where it attached to the engine block I would have to remove it to pull the engine I’ve copied it from time to time had them order the special caulk if the cable is near something flammable (plastic). It took the parts man a week to find a tube of it.

Otherwise 100 percent silicone caulk often clear is non corrosive to electrical stuff I’ve used that in stuff that is mine or is feet away from flammable objects it’s easier to find. Master switch on the half ton has that coating over the back. Hasn’t burned down yet or loosened. A single larger (ugly) glob of it will peel off better if need to remove
