Coke.

You can buy battery cleaner at autozone in a can for like 3 bucks. Use that and a wire brush, and some shop towels to clean the mess up.

Also, after you clean the terminals up, get some felt washers and some dielectric grease.

make sure your terminals are in good condition after you clean them, because i had a battery once that corroded so much that the terminals fell off

i kid you not!

but as venom said though- check the terminals after cleaning as well

Sorry, but what does placing a penny on the top do? I am not familiar with that..

All the corrosion will go to the penny instead of the connection.

I use baking soda and water myself but yes really, coca-cola works. http://www.wackyuses.com/coke.html 3rd down. or do a google.
