Conductive grease?

[Fez_uk]

I am after some condutive grease, I beleive copper grease is slightly conductive but is there any better stuff?

Purpose?:thumb2

And I wasn't aware that grease wasn't conductive? Its accepted good practice to smother your battery terminals with vaseline (among other uses!!) which would be a no-no if it wasn't somehow conductive?

I was thinking for the negative ground wire to car body for my aux battery to keep it rust free and good connection and maybe on some of my antennas.

then i think I just answered your question :thumb2

If you are in doubt, stick a couple of wires from the mains into a pot of grease....and stand by to replace all the fuses LOL.

I always used to smear the battery posts etc, but if you are uncertain, best thing is to clean the contact areas up til shiny, fit the ground, THEN smother the lot in vaseline to keep the water out. Nothing better, unless you fancy an unrolled condom???

I'll use my muiltimeter before the mains . I don't think it's conductive just repels water.

good point, you can just test for a dead short.....report back if you're still alive afterwards LOL those PP9s can be lethal LMAO!

OMG I never thought it mattered :nenau

especially on the tongue or in a taser .

Ooh I'd love one of them!!!!! (Taser that is, not a tongue!)

 

[Fez_uk]

I dont have one.

Where the lead goes to ground, make sure its clean and in good contact, fasten tightly then waxoyl or similar over it maybe :nenau

That was the plan if I can't easily source the conductive grease. As it happens my dad said he has some :clap , I will see tommorow.

Just check it's electrically conductive not thermally conductive as used on heatsinks on pcb's!!!

Why not just clean the 5hit off and use a serrated washer. Use fresh battery leads as after a while the current carrying capacity of the cable can drop off ( ever had a set of jump leads that just don' work?? )

 

[tezzer]

go to your local car spares shop, and ask for battery grease, it's a red colour, or mine is anyway, it is made for battery lead connections. :thumb2

ANYTHING you put between the connections will reduce the efficiency of that connection, the best connection will be clean metal to metal, what you put OVER that is up to you be it paint or grease.
