Yep. That's the problem with lead poisoning. Your IQ keeps
dropping ... and you can't figure out why!

What technology did you have in mind? Every motor vehicle battery I
work on has lead posts.

The technology used in my garage is sandpaper. Following up with a
little vaseline seems to retard corrosion.

Friend of mine has a terminal/clamp cleaner that is awesome, but I don't
know where to buy one - rather than being a wire brush, it's four little
scrapers mounted in a plastic holder at an angle.

Lead battery terminals oxidize the same as they ever did so
if you want the thing to work at minus 30C an annual
September cleaning is indicated.

Modern batteries are better sealed, and vent less sulfuric acid. That
leads to less corrosion. Using a barrier coat on the terminals can
lead to zero need to clean terminals until the battery has past its
useful life time.

I had a car for 11 years, and never changed the battery.

Sherm, I hate to disillusion you but there was a rather comprehensive
investigation conducted of the WTC disaster (published in 2008, if I
recall) as well as at least one other analysis of the report which I
read in an engineering monthly magazine.

In short, if you want to believe conspiracy theories please feel free
to do so, but do not propagandize them as a religion.

The conspiracy theory is the one promoted by the government and its
lackeys in the mainstream media.

Save your breath. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge by now that the WTC
demolition was at the behest of the US government, simply on the basis
of who had the capability to do it and who benefited, isn't going to
come around until we get some outright confessions.

I'm sure there are still Germans who don't believe the National
Socialists could have been behind the Reichstag fire, too. But there
are a lot fewer of them now than there were in the 1930s. Time will
put this stuff in perspective.

True; true. One hardly hears a thing about FDR's complicity in the
Pearl Harbor debacle any more.
