CORRODED TERMINALS.
Those corroded terminals of the battery can be taken care of by the simple process of greasing them. This does not mean even the trouble of unloosening them and smearing them with vaseline. In some service stations meehanics merely pour a little heavy oil over the terminal, using a grade of lubricant similar to that employed for transmissions. The oil works its way over the entire surface of the terminals and provides protection sufficient to prevent them from being eaten away. The corroding of terminals is a peculiar process which sometimes indicates a change in the charging rate, j but which more often than not is no evidence of trouble. However, it develops into trouble if the corroding process is not checked by greasing the terminals. For a complete and neat job it is best to disconnect the terminals, clean them and then brush on the oil.
