Wire brush the rust off it, and slap some never seize on it and you'll be good for another 5 or 6 years.,,,

They are going to rust. You can brush it off, paint it, and use anti seize. It will still rust though.

I'd slobber on regular old grease.

If you have any trouble, $1 worth of 1/4-20 allthread will replace your threaded-hook-thing.

I use to like fluid film many years ago . It was my Togo lubricant for everything . Door hinge . Lock . Door jam . Battery post .... then one winter . After came off night shift . Open my truck but can't shut my door . The lock latch is frozen . Fluid film is frozen . I like what the heck ..

I have to go home . Spray down the lock latch with brake cleaner and use WD silicone and never have problem with the lock latch frozen again .

Or an East Penn one. When I used to use JCI batteries I would put antiseize, grease, battery protectant, felt washers under the clamps, everything-and they would still corrode from all the acid & acid laden gases they leaked out. My East Penn ones have been SPOTLESS.

Clean off the connectors and the inside of it, clean off the connection polls coming out of the battery put those little red and green protectors on the polls. Replace cables a spray the terminals with protector. Should be good for a year if you don't overfill the cells. Clean the whole top of the battery off with Arm & Hammer Soda to neutralize the acid before you put the pads on the posts and then dry it off.
