Battery connector corrosion problem - Click HERE for Original Thread

The negative battery connector has started to develop a corrosion problem. To the extent that it sometimes won't start until I remove the connector, clean it and put it back. Sometimes even that wont work. So I have to restort to brute force approach of sanding/filing the inside of the connector.

I am not sure if thats the right way of doing it or not because wouldn't that scrape off the coating of the connector ? But at that time there was no other option to get it started and going. The mistake I made that time was I didn't apply petroleum jelly around it after.

For now I have sanded it again and applied petroleum jelly around it. Not sure how long it will hold up.

Do I need to get a new connector altogether ? How easy/difficult is it to replace it ? Seems like one of those "looks easy on the surface" jobs, until you go under and then wonder why you started it in the first place.

All purpose grease should work fine.
