( or at least I recall using it ) We used a product called No-Ox-ID at work, basically a thicker form of dielectric grease, came in small tins as well as big tubes, ( like overgrown toothpaste tubes ). We used this stuff on wet cell batteries. When you are maintaining several hundred wet cell batteries per instalation indoors, maintenance is real important because we usually didn't replace these suckers every few years, more like every 10 to 20 years. We even used it on the emergency generators startup batteries. The Diesel installations we had had 24V starters, and the average life span on those batteries was over 8 years. -- Paul Holmgren 2 57 300-C's in Indy Hoosier Corps L#6 ------------------------ Yahoo!
