Just a point of information. Cleaning off the tops of the battery terminals when they are corroded really does very little good. The connections need to be taken apart and cleaned thoroughly, to the point that the contacts become shinny bright. If this is not done, the poor contact caused by the corrosion creates high resistance which means a poor connection. Take them apart. Soak them in a baking soda and water solution. Wire brush them. Scrape them if needed. Then reassemble with some sort of corrosion resistant material. I use dielectric grease, and most any grease will do. After everything is assembled, spray paint over the top of it may help as well.
