| Lubricating cell pins
Been thinking about trying something to try to reduce the black mouldy build up on the cell pins. Some people have talked about using grease to redice corrosion, but I was wondering what possible down sides using normal grease could be - silicone grease is non-conductive from my researsh, so it would not be a good choice where we are dealing with mV sized voltages.
In the absence of finding a proper electrical conductive grease, I was wondering if perhaps something like CopperSlip could be used, as it has lubrication (anti sieze) properties, and also contains a high percentage of copper, so would have thought that it would be a better conductor. Obviously I'd need to be careful to ensure that I didn't have any grease shorting out the cell pins, but so long as I do that, I think it's a nice cheap solution.
Anyone tried using this, or would I be asking for trouble giving this a go. |
