Battery mounting screws coroding
I just switched my batteries on my I2, and found that the steel screws were very corroded. I replaced them with SS and I think I'll apply some anti sieze similar to what is used on exhaust systems to try to get them to last. The process is due to "galvanic corrosion" occurring when two dissimilar metals are in too close contact, such as here. IE steel screws in an aluminum casting. Surface oxidation of the aluminum is usually not a problem.
