Anyone who lives in snowy environs where salt flows freely on our roads, have you had any problems with salt corroding the battery or it’s connections?

No salt-related problems here in Central NY in the 2+ years my truck has been going.

Living in the Greater Toronto Area, where more salt is used on roads than asphalt, not to mention the pre-emptive brine spray they use before a snowfall that generates a fine white dust that seems to magnetically stick to vehicles, we've had no issues with nearly 2 years of Lightning use and over 7 years of Focus Electric use.

No issues yet in 2 years but it amazes me how much crap gets into the LVB bay. There are a few important connections in that bay and they get covered with salty spray.
