[Spridgets] Corrosion protectors

[dwoerpel]

Tim,

I've been using one of these for 20 years.  Lot cheaper back then but 
look around and you may find one for less.  If your battery is too low 
place a block of suitably sized wood under the battery. No worries with 
corrosion.  Here is the Moss page but Victoria British may sell them as 
well.
