Lube for connectors

[Hurricane]

Wha if anything is used for the connectors from the motor or batteries. Power Poles, Deans or the higher amp type plugs? Is a lube better than dry. At work we use a product called watt low to get better contact on busses and fuses. Thanks

PS: have not seen any Watt Low for several years.

I believe Watt-low is basically Dielectric grease, not sure if it reduces resistance but it keeps the contacts from corroding thus increasing resistance.

Works best on connections that are not separated constantly as we separate our connections.

GO to your autozone or whatever car parts store and get some spark plug Die-eletric grease in a small packet. Works good and is used for conenctions when electric is invovled and keeps plug boots from sticking to the lugs....even though this does not benefit us. Good stuff.
