I use an old school circa 2011 E-werk and Son28 with Edelux lamp.
Living coastal for most of its ownership, the usb plug plug (the most exposed one in the setup) goes rusty and needs replacement every couple of years.
Not a problem as sjscycles.co.uk carries the replaceable cables for not much money.

I don't bother trying to mitigate the corrosion, merely keep a few spares of the only one which seemingly goes rusty.

I wonder if your aluminium connecters might be an issue.
Aluminium touching steel is the reason boats have zinc blocks to combat electrolyses if memory serves.
