Bedliner, or the rubber underliner stuff you can get for like 8 bucks for a big can.

I use Noalox grease under the ring terminal. Under 3 bucks a tube at Home Depot.. It conducts electricity and stops corrosion. Seal over the connection with RTV after you grease it up.

Dollar store spray paint. Get it clean and tight, then spray that bitch. Done.

autoparts stores sell "battery connector protection" that is a dielectric/silicone mix. a great solution and it comes in small packs.
