    Be careful using silicone grease. It will damage some plastics.

    I tried it on battery ends in flashlights to reduce resistance due to
    corrosion but it destroyed the AAAx2 Pelican flashlights I used in on. The
    plastic cracked then just fell apart. Pelican replaced the flashlights
    (bless them) and I now use Vaseline on the battery ends instead.
