Cliff,
Did you mean "stingy" instead of liberal above? I would also add that it is imperative the the grease be conductive, i.e. containing aluminum or copper compounds and that it conform to the rule book specifications. Use #6 grease on battery primary leadscrews and #10 grease on the other screws, color coded, of course!
