GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Indubitably! This morning I bought a proper post/terminal cleaner. It is both a reamer for the terminal and a cutter for the post. I had seen these before but had forgotten about them. There won't be any more black crystaline coating on any more of my battery posts. I am going to stop by a local battery shop and see what that was about. Usually it is a non conductive corrosion on the negative terminal that causes the problem. Here there was no corrosion evident on either the positive or negative posts.
