Humm, seems I recall that at one time an automotive parts company 
packaged and sold a tube of
dielectric grease for cars that used points,  I used to use it for lots 
of places where electrical connectors was exposed to water. ( or at 
least I recall using it )
We used a product called  No-Ox-ID at work, basically a thicker form of 
dielectric grease, came in small tins as well as big tubes, ( like 
overgrown toothpaste tubes ).
We used this stuff on wet cell batteries. When you are maintaining 
several hundred wet cell batteries per instalation indoors, maintenance 
is real important because we usually didn't replace these suckers every 
few years, more like every 10 to 20 years. We even used it on the 
emergency generators startup batteries. The Diesel installations we had 
had 24V starters, and the average life span on those batteries was over 
8 years.
