Hi all,   
      
   I read in a magazine about Karo syrup used to protect battery terminals   
   from corrosion.   
      
   My wondering mind now would like to know what Karo syrup is and how it   
   is produced or harvested.   
      
   Not that I think it now would be used for the above protection because   
   vented lead-acid batteries are not much used anymore but have been   
   substituted by the closed type of batteries.   
      
   I have never used any other protection for battery terminals than   
   vaseline and have had no problems with corrosion of them since 1960.   
      
   Regards,   
      
   Holger
