Default corrosion on battery post

and for gods sake go to your local autozone and get ya some grease for it. we sell it for like 99 cents a pack. it should be around the batteries or by the cash registers.

what kind of grease are we talking about? dielectric?

my question was meant to be geared more towards what will *prevent* it from building up. sorry.
