Battery corrosion is only caused by the battery leaking acid. Splurge and and install an AGM battery and never worry about it again.

Interesting I didn't know that.

But wheel bearing grease is free and prevents the corrosion whereas an AGM battery is $$$.

My observation is the more you drive the more corrosion. Which might now be wrong! Theres no grease on the terminals of my Yaris battery (5k mile/year) and no corrosion after 6 years...
