    Dilectric grease may be a better option for the terminals.

    Couldn’t resist.. ordered the X2 Power 27F group battery from batteries plus. After mail in rebate and core this battery ran me $282. I figured I might as well take care of it now since I’m planning on adding more lights and possibly a dometic fridge. The only thing I had to do is put the battery clamp under the battery carrying handle since it wouldn’t quite fit with the handle down. I zip tied the handle to the clamp so it wouldn’t rattle. Fingers crossed the corrosion issue is done with. Battery also has a full 5 year warranty.

    Here’s a pic of the old battery tray and new battery installed:
