    mine aren't.

    first thing i do whenever i get a new-to-me vehicle is clean the terminals, apply dielectric grease, and use the foam donuts that i think are semi-useless.

    hasn't failed me yet

    I use CRC battery terminal protector spray, it eliminates the chance of corrosion. I've been using it for over 20 years on different vehicles and never once had any corrosion. A red dye is used to verify coverage.

    Same experiences with the CRC here. Good stuff. However, I started using Fluid Film instead of the CRC product back in 2020…and have had zero issues, just like the CRC. Just food for thought.
