You can, but Lithium grease dries up with time and is hard to clean up. Grease made specifically for electrics would be a better choice.

I wouldn't use it for anything any more. There are better greases available now.

That would be better. I've put ACF50 in every contact I could get to on my bike

.... and on the grease front, you can kill two birds with one stone (or perhaps canister).... Corrosion Block is basically the grease form of ACF 50.

I've used Marine Connector Protector , should keeps things clean and corrosion free if its made for boats , pulled all the plugs apart filled them with this stuff and reconnected , hopefully should prevent any corrosion problems .
