What really works I've found is just pouring boiling hot water straight from a kettle onto battery corrosion. It melts away the crystals like they werent even there. They just disappear before your eyes.

Just be careful you dont splash any on yourself.

I actually had a problematic battery which would need this done once a month or week, I would go and make a cup of coffee before leaving and bring out the kettle with me lol to pour onto the battery terminals.

Worked like a charm.
