Positive battery terminal corrosion

You'll have to get a professional crimp I think. Those part store replacement terminals are junk. OK to get home in emergency but not a good permanent repair. A welding supply company can make a new cable at a reasonable price.
The corrosion is because of battery outgassing. The felt washers work, but it's better to determine why the battery is outgassing so heavily. Usually because of corrosion and high resistance, discharged or mismatched cells or bank.

You can replace both the positive and negative terminals. Ask for the terminals for a Ford 2011 Edge, they are identical, about $20 a piece. I just replaced mine. Only available from Ford, Amazon, and Ebay. I had to replace my battery too, the battery had split at the terminals allowing the acid to eat the terminals on the cable. Easy fix, must be able to crimp the positive terminal onto the cable. Easy with vise grips or a hammer and punch.

I would recommend using something called No-OX-ID A compound on the terminals.
It is absolutely the best thing for battery terminals and has been used in the Telecom industry
for more years than I can count. Available on e-bay for a paltry sum. An 8 oz tube will last
you for many years and is great for all DC power connections / terminals.
