Your best bet is to either not run the radio, lights etc. unless the engine is running or just buy a better battery.

If you do neither and this happens again, then you will have to turn everything off and wait some time (10 mins or so) before the battery recovers enough to be able to crank it. If this happens a lot you're just shortening the life of the battery.

Mine says maint free too...
I have no corrosion to speak of on my bat after 1.5 years... but I do have blue foam around the negative terminal... Guessing its from the battery bubling out the top... bats bubble internally when gasses are released during the chemical reaction... maybe happened one of the many times I jump started the GF's truck. Takes a lot to charge a 1000ca battery
