aculous Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Some of these youngsters are getting too "school" smart. I've had the same copper wire attached to the same aluminum blocks on my rear battery for over a year. Both the wire and the terminal show no signs of erosion. rear battery...would be located where? in your trunk? Rear floorboard behind front seats, but Doesn't matter according to some. Copper and aluminum don't mix, period. smh/ Well electrolysis can't happen without water so if you don't get water back there you wouldn't have an issue. The problem is aluminum + copper + electrical current WITH WATER. The only problem I would see would be with batteries up front where they can get wet easy or maybe a grounding block on a frame with the SHCA copper lugs. But really if you take care of your shit you will spray it with some rattlecan black or clear it which should negate the corrosion. Also I bet it would take longer then a year or the introduction of salt as well in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Exactly my point. These fools make it sound like your connection is going to straight rot to shit in no time. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These fools make it sound like your connection is going to straight rot to shit in no time. meh I don't think anyone was freaking out just mentioning it. A lot of people don't think about that. I bet people put as much though into that as fusing and I mean at least with fusing you could burn down your car. So like anything else in an install, theres a right way to do it and wrong way and about 30 minutes on the internet doing some research is the difference.

Miguels Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 if that was the case they wouldt use lead on the battery post and lead terminals.. its still 2 different metals oh dont forget the screw on the side post is not made out of copper either my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a galvanic scale. Read what Krakin was saying. You may learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 my terminals have been fine under my hood, with salt and water near them how would you know? you're probably too lazy to check on them.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 It's funny how tons of other people post the same exact purchase and no one says shit but today everyone was feeling smart. Real world experience> book smarts. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Real world experience> book smarts. thank you.. if you seal your wire even adding solder to it you will avoid corrosion.. heck if you use the sky high terminals with a good crimper and shrink tube you will seal it good. my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
