Terminal lugs corroding on accessories
I have a 36 volt g16. I have 3 accessories, headlights, a winch, and cigarette lighter plug. I have each one of these accessories hooked up to 3 different pairs of batteries. On each one, where the positive wire connects to the batteries, there is a ton of corrosion. I'm thinking this is because the connectors that attach to the batteries are zinc coated and that might be reacting with the copper lugs of the battery cables. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've tried looking online for copper lugs for the smaller accessory wires but can't find anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Hockey...if you can't find the lugs you are looking for, try using some of the corrosion preventative gel stuff found near the battery section in your local auto parts store.

Thanks. So if I replace the connectors, which are just about fried away, with the same zinc coated ones and just load it up with that gel it will help the problem?

Re: Terminal lugs corroding on accessories
if you can put your acessory terminal on the other side of the battery term from the battery cable. I have done this to eliminate the corrsion b/t zinc ends and copper ends.
