well guys,
when I start having issues, I will try a different system, but right now, this one is working for me.

Make sure you get stainless posts for the external battery posts. I know at one point they were not stainless and rust quick.

It could have been carbon steel bolts on his posts that were rusting and the rust ran onto the stainless because they have been stainless for the past couple of years as far as I know.
Also, if there is any arcing (which is possible) spark is the most potent oxidizer and can rust any iron content in the stainless (even though it is only trace).
Use plenty of dielectric grease on those external posts (to prevent arcing) and reapply mid-season and they will serve you well.

yup... luckily i have two good size tubes of dielectric, and I just ordered some of John's ski grease... I'm gonna give it a shot.
I've never used bearing grease for electrical connections. I'm guessing that bearing grease contains graphite or other conductive compounds and might not be suitable for large arcing-potential applications (then again, it might work fine).
What I do know is that the CRC dielectric grease that comes in the Cheeze-Whiz dispenser always ends up aerated (with air bubbles) thereby lessing it's properties as a dielectric.
I'd use a dielectric from a tube or tub. Just FYI.

i use "red n' tacky" waterproof automotive grease (fortified with antiseize) like it going out of style...
for the ebox....vaseline
my dad taught me that trick when I was a kid for electronics.....
