What is a good method to prevent rust from the battery?

I live in an area where for the most part I dont have to worry about rust, no road salts in the winter, no near by ocean, but there is one demon that can still cause corrosion, the battery. What is a good way to protect against battery acid related rust?

buy a new battery because if that happens your battery is getting over-charged or something its not supose to do that

every battery ive ever owned after about a year or 2 starts have a lil "seepage" runs perfectly fine and everything just have to wipe it down

Optima, those are dry cell right? no acid to leak out?

I've never had that issue, but almost everyone who came into AutoZone when I worked there had terrible green growth on their terminals...

Baking soda + warm water.

Optima batteries are gel cell, not dry cell. Still no acid leak though.

Interesting enough I have yet to have that problem on my terminals...I don't treat them with anything, and haven't had to clean them since I have had the car going on 5 yrs now. When I drove the pick-up for my last job it had the top terminals and they would corrode all the time...but it was nothing a wire brush and a can of Gunk couldn't handle.
