Anti Oxidant Usage

clubcartwright

As advised in a previous post regarding battery maintenance, I recently purchased a tub of NO-OX-ID"A SPECIAL" To apply to my battery terminals to discourage corrosion and oxidation. My question is " should I coat the entire terminal prior to attaching the cables or apply to the surface after connecting the terminals?

Hopefully you will get an answer from some of the folks in the industry that uses/used the product professionally.

You can always add after the connectors are installed without any issues and it will prevent corrosion and oxidation.

It is also designed to be used before connecting, but you need to make sure the connections are clean of any foreign material and You need to warm the container in hot water until is liquid.
You then apply a very thin coating on the surfaces to be matted.

From sanchems website: •Use NO-OX-ID A-Special as a battery terminal grease to prevent battery corrosion for your car battery maintenance and marine battery maintenance. For battery connections coat the post, screw, clamp, and terminal liberally with NO-OX-ID. A little NO-OX-ID goes a long way!

Thanks for you responses to my question. It is nice to be a part of this forum.

I would clean everything , assemble, then coat . I wouldn't want anything in the middle to weaken my connection.

I can see both sides here. I also used this same product except I applied on everything first then assembled, so mine is also between my connections. Hope I didn't do it wrong! My thinking was I just didn't want to allow any oxygen between the sandwiched connections. I guess we're all learning together on this one.

Per the manufactures website.

Coat everything then assemble.

Apply to all wire terminal connections and wire splice connections. Dip the spade or ring into the NO-OX-ID.

Battery terminal application of NO-OX-ID A-Special:

Disconnect the connector from the terminal. When taking the battery out first disconnect the negative terminal (-), then disconnect the positive (+).
Degrease the terminal post.
Neutralize the area – this is normally done with baking soda & water (1 lb/ 1 gal.)
Use a toothpick size steel wire brush to buff the face of the terminal post until the face is bright lead.
Next, apply a light coating of NO-OX-ID A-Special to all four faces of the terminal post.
Reattach the cables to the battery. When reattaching the battery, first connect the positive (+) connection then reattach the negative terminal (-).
