Although (theoretically I suppose) a conductive grease may be better, it doesn't appear to make a practical difference in the specific application (battery terminals). Furthermore, if one accidentally (or otherwise) applied a conductive grease to a multi-pin connector, the possibility of shorting between the pins would be a real concern. A whole chapter could be devoted to automotive batteries - and the reasons for them to fail - specifically. But, to cut to the chase, a LOAD TESTER is an inexpensive tool to have to quickly sort out "what is what" in an automotive battery. Once a car battery is fully charged, one can know in 10 seconds if the battery is "up to snuff". (if NOT up to snuff, sulfate and other things come into play - food for another topic). And, as far as connector oxidation and other crud goes, an electronic connector solvent/cleaner goes a long way to refurbishing "iffy" connectors. Just sayin!
