+1...that's good stuff. The one thing you might want to watch...and we all do it, is how tight you're clamping things. The post doesn't have to be tight enough to hook a log chain to and pull the tractor out. Just tight enough to keep the clamp from vibrating off. I think we work the post of the battery way too hard sometimes getting the clamp "just a little tighter" and break the seal around the post. If that happens, those corrosion washers are very good for neutralizing the gas that comes out of the battery. Another thing is how much air is flowing over the battery. Expose a battery to the open air, and you'll see very little corrosion like you talk about. But enclose it in a battery box where there's no air movement...and it will be your worst nightmare....
