It's #4. The terminals are incorporated in the switch. $27. That's a down payment on a new drill.

Why are you worrying about corrosion?Did your drill cease working?In all electrical installations and transmission and distribution cables, copper and aluminium is used.Both form a small oxide layer on the surface that comes in contact with air, that protects the metal beneath.

------------ The contacts of concern in the original thread were battery terminals and clips. Sulfuric acid and copper produce copper sulphate which can cause problems. The vasolene trick works- make the contacts first then smear the vasolene. Side terminal batteries and sealed batteries don't have this problem.
P.S. It's not only a lead acid batttery problem. I had to throw out a TV remote that had not been used for some time because of severe corrosion at the terminals.
