Warren ECM selling a 16oz squeeze bottle of this stuff for $200.00 for anyone interested. A little too much to spend when all I want is a 4oz tube or something.

Got the red and green washers at Kamraj in Debe for 15 dollars/ pair. Sprayed the terminals and connectors with CRC to clean, then used the round battery pole wire brush to shine. Put the washers on, then tightened the connectors. Finished by spraying terminals with silicone spray lubricant. We will see how long this one lasts.

crossdrilled, MF batt (them dry cell)?

I dont know if all are the same but with the XS power batts around the poles are a vent. Compromising the ability for the gas to escape may lead to swelling if thats the way you using those washers. Like I said, I dont know if all are the same but thats the way the XS power ones are. It may be a precaution you might want to take.

Timecop bump. Yeah I couldn't find Dielectric Grease either, so unbelievable that this is not available in Trinidad, and nobody even knows what it is anywhere you call. I probably called about 25 or 30 car places and hardwares, they have no clue what I even talking about.

BUT I found it! At Lange Chaguanas (they pave Gaston St.!!!! it like brand new). The bottle cap was rusty so I know it there a long while. But this should last a long, long time, unless if you're an electrician who does proper connections using it. $50.
