The seal between the terminal and the case is imperfect, and allows a small amount of the acid to migrate up onto the terminal, causing corrosion of the copper cable termination and the steel bolt and nut. The lead is mostly unaffected by the acid, but will oxidize in the air.
Most anything non-conductive and acid-resistant that will augment that seal will work just fine. Just use it sparingly and keep it off the surfaces that mate.
Those colored felt pads don't work all-that-well on their own, but will be fine if used with grease or RTV.

May not be, but when a battery is these vehicles gets strangled from the alternator due to corrosion, and this has been going on long enough to create no start, that battery is only going to let you down sooner than later. The other battery has been working twice as hard, and the alternator is not liking the extra resistance within the charging circuit. Get it load tested and keep an eye on it. Otherwise it will bring other things down with it, and fail at the worst possible time.
Good Luck!

Those are terms that don't normally apply to charging and storage systems.

"when a battery is these vehicles gets strangled from the alternator due to corrosion,"
A single electrical storage device (SESD), in a dual electrical storage system (DESS), will become compromised when said SESD is isolated from it's charging source, due to a high resistance connection.
When a SESD is found to be compromised, thorough testing by trained professionals, is recommended. Proper testing of the SESD may also prevent additional component failure within the DESS.
It is also recommended to test all other components of the DESS after being electrically and thermally stressed by an unbalanced DESS, caused by a compromised SESD.

My hair is still on fire and head still spinning. Do I need a NASA degree to understand that!!!

Are these recent terms, now coming into common usage? They sound as though they are from a textbook.

No electrical guru here in any sense of the word but listening.
