Battery cables do not have a good connection with battery terminals OR battery terminals are corroding

Category: Automotive > Under the Hood > Battery Terminal Connection
Solution: Rub Vaseline on battery terminals.
Alternative product used and cost: Vaseline (< $1).
Result: A good, tight, and clean electrical connection (no corrosion) between the battery terminals and the cables.
Duration: Tends to wear off every eight months.
Original Options: Buy new tightening clips (> $15) or dielectric grease (> $10).
Origin of AU (Alternative Usage): A co-worker of mine said he has been doing this for a long time and says it is quick, easy, and effective.
