The battery cables in my golf cart are becoming corroded and I’m not sure why (I’m not exactly the mechanical type). Anyway, what can I spray or put on these cables to prevent the corrosion? Also, the corrosion is occuring on the metal part of the cables where they connect to the batteries.
One of my friends suggested liquid electrical tape. Is that a good idea?

    Axle grease or Vaseline should do it.

    you should put vasoline on the battery heads.. that will stop corrosion there.. make sure to scrub off all the corrosive buildup first… but I think you just need to replace the cable. when buying a new cable- make sure it has a good plasic coating.

    Clean things well, reinstall tightly and put on a thin coat of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly over the terminals.
