Could try coating it with a glob of bearing grease. The new roofing tar! :dlaugh:

Just take off the wires and wire brush the terminals nice and good. Clean the wire ends too and then just reassemble. Make sure it's nice and clean when it goes back together and your done.

The ends shouldn't turn into a rusty mess and if you brush the outside of the terminals off every few years it should be totally fine.

If you really want to cover it you could probably just find some rubber caps to pop onto them, but thats about all I can think of. nothing to really worry about, just clean it up real good once and then check your connections once every blue moon.

I use my trusty De-Ox gel to coat the terminals, no oxidation, pretty weather proof too.

Thank you Colin, I was trying to remember what the jelly stuff was called.
