[Tigers] non Tiger-battery

[A. C. Tynes]

Mark,

I don't know the exact scientific explanation, but the preventative is to
keep air from getting to the terminals. 

I now use the same dialectic grease I put on spark plug terminals. Though a
bit messy, the old-fashioned yellowish-brown wheel bearing grease used to
work very well, but I haven't been able to find it for years.

I seldom have to clean terminals between battery replacements as long as I
renew the dialectic grease occasionally. The red and green felt washers the
parts stores always try to sell you with a battery have never worked for
me.. 

HTH,
A. C. Tynes
