Zack Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I periodically need to store my '90 Legacy for periods of 6-9 months, and always disconnect my battery when doing so. Does it make any difference whether I disconnect both positive and negative terminals, or just the negative terminal? (I've seen both alternatives recommended). Also, I normally smear a bit of vaseline on the terminals to prevent corrosion. Is this a good material to use, or is there some other grease which would be better?

nipper Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 i would dissconnect both, and also clean the top of the battery. You can get a slight drain of voltage across the two terminals from any stray acid on the surface. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Zack '90 Legacy wagon auto AWD 164,000 miles there's a red spray you can get that stop corrosion and protects terminals. it's what we use at the shop, but i don't remember what it's called. i'd imagine that is would be better than vasaline.
