Bob,
No problem. The "myth" was from the days of hard
rubber casings. Haven't used those in a long time.
Usually I clean the top of the battery with windex
to remove any dirt/acid path between the terminals.
Have you already put the roadster into hibernation?
If not: take a look at my old tech tip "Winter Storage"
