How to clean battery and charger connections??

[angie124]

Mine are looking abit grubby. What and how do you clean them. A lot of old juice seems to be under the floating pin in my batteries. Any advice.

Alcohol and a Q-Tip or cotton ball or a cotton patch will do the job.

Leaves no residue and will not scratch the surface.

Yep, and just to be extra safe, turn off the battery and unplug the charger first, and give ample time to evaporate off.

I am thinking that you are using ego type batteries. ie:spinners, mvp's, isticks for example. It is a good idea to clean them each time you remove your topper to prevent that buildup. I use a corner of a folded paper towel. Keeping the battery connection clean also keeps the charger for your batteries that have to be screwed on, clean. I attribute the long life of my batteries simply to the fact that I keep the threaded end clean at all times. HTH

Rubbing alcohol and q-tips.

Agreed alcohol and the q-tip.

As a former electronics tech we used pencil erasers for corrosion, q-tips and rubbing alcohol for dirt and residues. Removing tarnish from copper and brass connections may require additional chemicals. In that situation I would possibly use brasso and a q-tip for removing the tarnish and alcohol and a q-tip or cotton ball for cleaning up the brasso afterwards. For my vape gear, alcohol and cotton has been all I've needed so far for cleaning. Some of my 510 connections that involve brass get a very light application of dielectric grease after cleaning to slow down the disintegration of soft brass threads.
