<VV> Battery Terminal Corrosion Problem

[N6nev at aol.com]

Overcharging can cause this,  check the charging rate with a  voltmeter, 
raise the rpm to around 1k and the voltage should be  14.2 or  so  Larry

While  the battery in question is not in a Corvair, others might have the 
same  problem. In spite of everything I have done - new battery, new cables, new  
correct terminals - I have a battery in my F'93 ord Exploder that insists on  
having it's positive terminal produce corrosion. I have been able to control  
it somewhat with the red protective spray, but it still sneaks back. I have  
six other vehicles and have not had to use the spray and have not had the same 
 problem with them. Any tips as to what else might be going on in this 
vehicle?  Thanks,
Grant
