Thanks

Mix up some baking soda and water. Apply it to the terminals and it will fizz up and dissolve the acid. Then clean rhe battery post's and cable ends real well with a wire brush ( or sandpaper will work too). Apply a thin coat of Vaseline and reassemble. They make special brushes for cleaning batteries and they make various products to spray on everything to keep the corrosion at bay. You can find them at any auto parts store.

Then you can use most any grease, Vaseline or batty terminal spray applied after attaching the terminal to post.
Also best to use boot to cover Pos terminals for safety.

I like to use the green and red "felt" rings on the terminals. Never had corrosion when I used those.
