Stick a penny on top of the terminal and it won't corrode. Learned it from an old school mechanic years ago.

I had that setup from the factory in my 2001 Mustang Bullitt. I never had any issue with corrosion. I prefer the side mount over the top mount. My 2006 Chrysler 300 is a top mount and always has issues.
