LIQUI MOLY Battery Clamp Grease | 50 g | Calcium Fat | Lubricating Fat | SKU: 3140

Product Information

This is especially important if you trying to charge a new car battery, if you damage it by overcharging it, you will void warranty by doing so.

The battery will work either way, as long as terminals and clamps are clean out of the corrosion and they are connected and well tight together.months and ensure all the cells are filled equally, otherwise a lot of damage may be caused to the battery. When using this product please be careful not to use too much to the point that you would create a barrier between the terminal and the clamp preventing a solid connection. First of all, whether your terminals are corroded or not, it is a good idea to clean the connections, before grease them. Applying a small amount of grease to battery terminals prevents corrosion and aids the removal of battery leads.

Wax-based grease is used in applications where parts are moving and rubbing to each other, especially in the bicycle industry to lube chains. This lubricant is not commonly recommended for protecting terminals, but it can be used in emergency situations.And it’s more important to grease terminals of a lead-acid car battery types independently from Lithium based types batteries because the Lithium ones will not vent out harsh acid vapours to make terminals corrode. When you put dielectric grease on terminals and clamps and bolt them together, what will really happen is when you tighten them, a clamp will squeeze out the majority of grease, making a good connection. If we want to compare the resistance of different greases, we need to make sure to measure them first. If you would like to change your settings or withdraw consent at any time, the link to do so is in our privacy policy accessible from our home page. Another simple tip that can help you maintain your battery for longer is to check the battery’s water levels.

He demonstrates resistance between two copper bars lying down, one on top of the other, with several greases between them. The best and the most recommended grease to put on battery terminals to protect them from corrosion is silicone dielectric grease. There are several types of grease out there you might consider when it comes to greasing terminals to prevent corrosion. Eventually, gas will find a way to escape due to high-pressure buildup inside a battery through terminal seals making terminals corrode.By sealing gaps between contacts corrosion won’t form, and the final result is low resistance, which is good for electrical connections. Prevents the contact resistance from increasing during operation and ensures lower loss than with untreated contacts.
