De --- I remember someone else recommending Vaseline, but managed to forget about it. That does sound much cheaper....
Rein --- Interesting to use baking soda, which is alkaline. Most people around here recommend pouring a coke on the terminals, saying the acid eats away at the corrosion. We don't drink soft drinks, though, so never gave it a try. Baking soda, though, we have in the kitchen. Maybe we'll try that next time.
Marco --- Sounds like another good option!
