I leave mine open so the water can dry out.
Silicon grease attracts alkali dust in the desert,
when it gets wet it can cause some leakage.
Power poles are silver plated. Clean and dry works for me.

Take another pair of power poles with no wires and place onto the
connector. Then wrap the whole thing in Scotch 23+, and apply a liberal
coating of ScotchKote. That'll keep the water out when you're not using
it. When you need it, simply slit the outside, and peel everything off.
