Cure For Battery Terminal Corrosion

My daughter drives her 2012 Camry ~40k miles a year and has unbelievably bad battery terminal corrosion. My wife drives her 05 Camry ~12k miles a year and has pretty bad BTC.

I drive my 09 Yaris Hatch 5k miles a year and have almost none.

You can PREVENT BTC by coating the terminals with a thick layer of wheel bearing grease.

My daughters car had corrosion all over the battery, all over a nearby computer, and all over the nearby fusebox. The terminals had to be replaced as did the hold downs by the delaer (shes rich! )

Now a year later her terminals are good and clean of corrosion with a good coating to wheel bearing grease on them!
