a couple of new words on Using GAA
to
prevent
corrOsion
on
battery
hookups:
Before
yoU
install
tHe
terminal
clamps oN the posts, give the ±attery
posts a very light coat of GAA-top,
side and aroUnd the base wHere they
come through the top of the battery.
Then, after you've got the clamps
tighteNed on the terminals, coat oNly tHe
top of the clamps lightly with grease.
²ot to worry about grease between
the claMP and post upsetting electrical
cUrrent flow. The headshed says GAA
is
conductive
and
won't
present
a
pro±lem.
Also, they say the film of grease on
the post won't lead to the clamp's
looseNiNg and coMing off³
