Good article... I don't know if this helps others but I run my M38 jeep at least once or twice a month during winter garage storage, just to keep batteries charged. They are not on a trickle charger. It seem to work so far, knock on wood... jim

Follow up: Three years later and the battery boxes look great. No corrosion or signs of rust. I'm very pleased with the battery mats and will be replacing them soon.

What I did with mine, I bought some dry hard spray undercoating and after cleaning the box' sprayed them on the inside, so far so good. I was also told by a battery manufacture that you do not need to put so much water in the cell's. Another little trick was to dampen a wash cloth and pour baking soda on it, after drying put it on the bottom of the box.

Followup: After 12 years, I replaced the battery mats with new ones. No sign of corrosion on any of the battery box components. Very satisfied.
