Salt water fisherman here that takes trips out of San Diego and out in the open ocean for days at a time.
I've started picking up things like headlamps for night fishing, and other electronics with Li-Ion batteries and chargers for said electrical devices. Looking for a grease that can provide some corrosion resistance without adding significant series resistance on the metal contacts, but Google searches have not turned up many leads.
Any products that work for this application, or by definition, grease/oil and conductivity are not physically possible?
Thanks.
Super Lube grease.
I think what you want is Di-Electric Grease . Just Google that
I would give DeoxIT FaderLube a whirl. It works wonders in electronics.

Thanks Mike.
From the link description, the "Fader" product line is "not for metal contacts/connectors". But, Caig Labs (manufacturer of this product) seems to offer other options and definitely points me to the right direction.
Very Helpful.
Thank You.

I've looked into dielectric grease, and it's great for non-electrical applications...

"The grease does not conduct electricity, so it shouldn't be applied directly to the mating surfaces (pins and sockets) of an electrical connection."

Super Lube grease.
This appears to be a general all purpose grease mostly used for anti-friction and protection applications. It is dielectric based, and does not specifically call out conductivity in general marketing or the technical data sheet.

You use Di-Electric Grease around the socket or electrical circuit Connector to seal out Moisture, Not to improve or interrupt current .
I use it on Car Batteries ,Plug Connections ,etc.
Might want to use another product on the actual Terminal connections yes.

I didn't realize the Fader Lube isn't recommended for metal. I was just thinking the Fader Lube would leave a thicker protective coating. I use Deoxit D5 contact cleaner because it leaves a film of lubricant but it's very thin.
Hear's another product worth looking at:
