battery cable corrosion

Sergio I'll check that Thanks.
abamadude, they are the silver colored ones. Do you think I should cut the shrink off and give the cable a good cleaning and then re-shrink it?

Scottyb, what mrgolf says does make sence! you said to coat all surfaces before and after installing. I have only been coating them after installing. like I said earlier maybe I should cut off the shrink, clean everything, recoat cable and lug, re-shrink, install and recoat everything again?

Cut the shrink off, and if you see green it may be too late to just clean it. Corrosion can wick all the way down a wire.

Thanks abamadude, I'll cut it off and check!

I got out to the detached garage this morning and cut the shrink off the pos cable. Looks like I got lucky no sign of corrosion on the cable itself. I'll give it a good cleaning and coat cable with the protective spray, re-shrink it, clean and coat the battery post, put it together and coat it all one more time. I'll see if that helps. Thanks guys

Looks to me like that cable is most likely corroded under the end and up the cable like I was talking about.

If you look close part of the end is corroded off.
