Exactly, regular grease, even waterproof is not di-electric(non-conducting) whilst it is great for battery terminals etc. However di-electric grease is great for waterproofing a connection and sealing it from the air, thereby stopping oxidation and corrosion where it matters.

Do they make a conducting water proof grease like for termanal conections.If the di electric grease does not make good conduction/conection,what should ya use ?
