I totally agree with using Vaseline all over the terminals.  I just swapped 
out a bank of 12 Sears golf cart batteries that had been in service for 6 
years.  It was my first installation and was not touched since except to add 
water.  ALL the terminals were corrosion free even though the battery bank 
was in a damp cellar.  Luckily someone had clued me in to the Vaseline trick 
from day one.  My car battery corrosion has ceased since using the same 
procedure.  Vaseline is also easier to clean off than some of the stickier 
preparations.
