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.
It isn't battery corrosion as this ground wire is two feet from the battery. It's corrosion from the elements, most notably, water. More water won't help. Thanks for the idea though.
