Whilst I am definitely NOT an expert I would say that
ordinary grease would prevent corrosion it will not
enhance conductivity.
What you really need if you are so concerned is "graphite
grease' which conducts and reduces corrosion. But if it
heats up and melts and flows then you will have a bigger
problem.
I would have recommended on assembly making sure
everything is really clean and bright. Doing up the
bolts/terminals nice and firm and then applying some
Vaseline to the outside. Just a smear to keep the moisture
and air out of the interfaces between the connector.
HTH from a non-expert !
